Program Overview:

The door has greatly evolved since colonial America, from a simple functional door used to keep out the cold (and the livestock!) through a variety of different styles from colonial times to today.

Some of the pictures and information presented were researched in part using the Historic American Buildings Survey, a collection of over 41,000 measured drawings and 80,000 photographs from over 16,000 American buildings.

The project began in the 1930’s as a Federal Works Project, and today is managed jointly by The Library of Congress, the U.S. Department of the Interior, and the American Institute of Architects.
