This is an old city house and because I went to a private school in the suburbs, most of my friends grew up in modern suburban houses. I always felt so sorry for them with their foam-core doors and brass doorknobs. And no keyholes! How would they ever be able to practice their Harriet the Spy skills?
This post is part of a series on the details I love in my parents' home. For the previous post, go here.

Real keyholes? In your house? When you were growing up? That's so cool!
My parents recently (as in, 5 years ago) moved to the city and my dad wouldn't even consider houses that didn't have solid wood doors. I thought he was crazy at the time, but now I love their weight. One of these days, I'm going to grow up and buy a house with heavy doors and keyholes too! (Right now I'd just settle for level doorframes and floors that don't slant downward though...)
