York Minster Doors

The great west door of York Minster is a formal processional entrance but not used for the mass of tourists who visit the cathedral each day. The South Transept is the main entrance to York Minster. The famous stained glass of the Rose Window is above the entrance. This window was damaged by a fire in 1984.

Historic Homes in Pacific Heights

The main attractions of Pacific Heights, San Francisco, are the stunning mansions and historic buildings. Pacific Heights was first developed as a neighborhood in the 1870s with a series of small Victorian homes. Many of these were lost during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and were later replaced with period homes. Even today, the neighborhood is characterized by its wealth of Victorian-style architecture.

Here are two historic homes that look similar but have different porch entrances.
