Capitol Hill Doors and Entryways

The row houses and townhouses on Capitol Hill are not exactly the most convenient architectural styles to navigate through. The buildings are more vertical than horizontal and are a risk for anyone with a stair phobia. But they are absolutely gorgeous. And for those owners who want to make a mark, one of the easiest ways to do it is by using a paint color in the entryway that makes it stand apart from the neighbors. Sometimes that can be hard to do when the neighbor's front door is literally right next to yours. Most of these elegant entryways have iron works surrounding them in some way, shape, and form. Some have an added vestibule that serves as cover in foul weather, but also lends more style to the home. As the seasons change, various floral and interesting arrangements are added to the steps and doorways. Just about any color of the rainbow can be seen, and it is almost unusual to find one in a neutral palette. You could say Milwaukee was a lot more conservative in this regard, particularly in the suburbs. But here, just about anything goes, and it is unique to the neighborhood where we live.
