Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world.
Norm 2.0 hosts it and anyone can join.
Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American Eastern Time).
Each week Cee challenges us to share photos based on an inspiring prompt. This week we’re challenged to share photos with orange and/or green in them, hence the photos above that I took last weekend at a laundromat in Chicago.
To join the fun, you just need to check what the new prompt is at Cee’s Photography. Create a post and link or ping back to her blog.

It’s with a heavy heart that I share that the Gilded Age architectural gem, the Palmer House Hotel is in foreclosure.
The hotel was built by Potter Palmer, a real estate tycoon, for his young bride as a wedding gift. The hotel has faced disaster in the form of fires and financial problems before. I hope it’s not closed for good.
I can see how the lockdown and looting has affected all the downtown hotels.

Last week the Evanston Park District challenged people to create nature mandalas. I found time to make this today.
Time for this week’s Sepia Saturday post and a time to take a look back in history. Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to share images and posts of bygone days. This week we’re inspired to find photos based on the photo above, photos that show healthcare workers.

No mask, no streetcar. In Seattle during the Spanish flu one had to have a face mask if you wanted to get on a streetcar.
Compulsory mask – State Library of New South Wales, 1919
The Flickr Commons entry has this note:
The skull and crossbones on the mask was a joke, not part of the mask as issued, in an attempt to halt the disease. 12,000 died in Australia and between 20-100 million around the world, more than were killed in the War
LOC, Flu Fighters, Montenegro, 1918
Healthcare workers with the American Red Cross. They went to Montenegro to care for small pox and typhus patients. Then the Spanish Flu broke out and brought them more patients.

I accept this challenge and sought out photos of libraries. This prompt is fitting as it in the US we’re finishing National Library Week.
Stitt Library at BUMED, 1902
From the Navy Medicine Flickr Commons collection, this library had a telescope inside. That’s where the stairs must lead to.
National Library of Ireland, circa 1900
Dallas Public Library, circa 1910
From the SMU Library Digital Collection
In Mudgee, Gulgong, Australia, 1878
From State Library of New South Wales – While I admit I love the elegant, stately libraries of city centers, this simple, rustic library tugs at my heartstrings. I love how this man started a library out in the wilderness.
Carnegie Library, Greenville, Texas, 1904
During the late 19th and early 20th century, tycoon Andrew Carnegie built libraries in the US and around the world. If a town applied for the program and promised to maintain a library staff and collection, they could receive funds to build what was then known as a Carnegie Library. Above and below are two examples of the grand libraries.
