Where in Boston Would You Find These Doors?

Let's play Attention to Detail! We give you a close-up clue and you have to figure out where you've seen it around Boston.

Here are some hints to find this stunning set of doors:

• Take a walk in the South End 
• They are on a main street
• There is a ghost ad on the side of the building

Ready? Click through or scroll down past this great book about Boston, for the answer.

 

The doors are on 488 Columbus Avenue. In 2001 Lynda Morgenroth noted in her book Boston Neighborhoods, “At 488 Columbus Avenue, a redbrick row house with brownstone trim and a spiffy oak door has a wildly colorful, English-style patch with a sign that exhorts, GROW, DAMMIT!” The book also contains a charming sketch of this doorway.
