221 Washington Build is Done

traditional double doors are about 4 feet six or eight inches wide. Each half door is about 2 foot four. The code requires, in its wisdom, that no entry door should be less than 3 feet, so the double doors do not meet code. sometimes, architects create fake double doors which look like they have two panels but are really one with a false divider. However those doors are sometimes not allowed because the swing extends too far out. It is very very difficult to design attractive facades in NYC.
I weep for the loss of fish shingles.
It turned out OK. Congrats to the owners.
