Hyde Park was a much needed antidote to our shaken state. It is so idyllic. So peaceful. So settled and comfortable. So teeming with life. And having Pippi with us was such a remarkable pleasure. Maybe it was my mindset or maybe it was the exquisite spring light that made me fall in love again with Hyde Park's architectural splendor. Pippi and I scouted all of these examples within a few blocks of our apartment. Here follows a selection of our favorite doors and windows.
A door knob on Kenwood Avenue.

The matching windows.

Verging on the Queen Anne style.
Victorian charm on Kimbark Avenue.
