Description
REPLICATED DOORS FOR LA CASA NUEVA UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Color: Brown
A color polaroid photograph of reproduction wood doors being made for La Casa Nueva, ca. 1979. At upper left, the maker of the doors, Don Shepherd, is tightening one of three clamps that appear to be used to help join the separate wood pieces of the door as they are adhered together. The door seems to be resting on a low support on the floor of the dining room (note the three-part door at the background.) The doors, either for the dining room or the library, later had carved panels, made by Harvey Morris, added to them. At the bottom of the artifact is an inscription in black ink reading "Temple House Doors" while at the lower right is a pencil inscription reading "8x8," referring to image 99.5.14.290. With little indication of wear or damage, the artifact is in good condition.
