The doors (of Inverell)

Published on by bushboy

Dan’s Thursday Doors

The first stop on my recent road trip was Inverell. Had enough time for lunch and a walk around the town.

One of the first things I saw was this Post Office pillar style mailing box that were used in the mid 1800’s. They were made from cast iron. Unfortunately the door is on the other side but you can see the outline of the hinges.

A stylish building

The Council Offices not only had great doors bit the windows were good as well

These door looked familiar. I saw similar doors on a bookshop in Glen Innes

Even the inserts were the same but in a better condition.

The Court House, a great shade of pink

Here’s the whole building

  4. Wonderful buildings, Brian. I love that pink color, and I find the various ways they deal with placing handrails in these entrances interesting. ?I do like that giant transom window and the old mailbox.

  5. There’s that post office box again. 🙂 I like it even better as a door post. The door with the beautiful inserts makes me think of kitchen doors inside a restaurant, isn’t that funny. In that one I see more of the art deco that you mentioned before. I notice you catch a lot of architecture with curves – such as with the top photos. That must catch your eye, as it does mine.

    1. Thanks. I do prefer shapes rather than straight line mostly. Straight lines give great angles, circles give great shapes. It’s a bit ying yang I guess.
      I should see if there’s some sort of organisation or company who first owned/built the buildings as both doors were identical, only the Glen Innes door insert was in need of a bit of TLC.
      Had to sneak the post office box in again, some Thursday Doors people wouldn’t have seen the other post 😁

  10. Love the Mutual Life Building and the cheerful pink courthouse, for those feeling blue as they walk inside. I was fascinated by the Municipal Building rail, but your explanation above sounds about right.

    1. The town has some great buildings. Pity we didn’t have long to wander about. It’s not that far from here. There’s a bike race from Grafton to Inverell every year I don’t know how they get up the mountains, I’d be pooped by the first lookout.
