Door of the Day
DSCN5598, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.
Ok, I swear I’m not joking here. I know the door’s a bit beat up but I’ve never seen a cabana door on a row house before. My old apartment building used to have cabana doors and they were sweet. I guess they went out of style with the advent of screen doors but I still dig them. This one would be sweet with a bit of paint and sanding.

my old building had these doors on every apartment…in the days before AC it helped cool the buildings by allowing cross ventilation. And anyway, they looked really cool, too.
i installed one on my house last year after seeing a house on capitol hill with one
I know that house… I wish the guy that lived there would invest in a weed wacker or something. The place is a mess.
This should’ve been the photo for your caption contest.
There’s a few like this in Georgetown (30th above M?).
The University of Virginia has them on some of the Jefferson-designed residential buildings (including The Lawn and The Range). Since a/c units are prohibited on those buildings (in VA – not kidding!), they are useful and well-used.
I thought the Paramount on Georgia and Quincy use to have those also. A regular door plus that as a screen door.
I could be thinking of somewhere else tho.
