Something about rabbit holes

Call me a little bit nerdy, but I kinda dig architecture. And especially in a city that is so old and rich with history, there is some of that old architecture left in bits and pieces among the newer architectural developments. And. I think doors are fascinating. Imagine how many doors you walk through every single day. Did you ever actually look at them? I mean really look at them. So, for your viewing pleasure, 24 doors. One from each block on Chestnut Street on an adventure from the Schuylkill to the Delaware River.
