In both our old coop in Park Slope, and now our ‘brownstone’ in Bay Ridge, we have some door casings (mouldings) that are cut in half (vertically) because the space between the door and the adjoining wall is to narrow for the full width of the moulding. So the truncated moulding butts up against the adjoining wall. Even in our front foyer, with it’s old world oak charm, it’s cut off on one side. It seems so common, but I always wonder why? Any thoughts?
