    I was kind of disappointed to see the For Sale sign up this afternoon--he seems to be a good neighbor.

    Looks like it separates two buildings.

    I'm thinking I need to go look at this place. When I first saw the pics kinda disappointed expected more from celebrity place. The pics might just be bad.

    True but it does answer why he is moving, which is actually better (to me).

    oh. there were at least two threads on PS that talked about wysp ending its run: here and here. i'm actually more curious as to where he's moving to.

    Since stairs are usually against a common wall the only other thing I think it could be is a elevator.

    I've seen these often in older buildings. It's probably a type of fire door- lead sheets nailed/adhered to a the door, most likely heavy wood- (don't know, never looked behind any sheet) but it is heavy, hence the pulley system which I've always seen with this type of door. I've seen them on floors at the entrance to a fire-escape stairwell, in common areas at the head of a long hall, and used with old-style elevators.

    Alot of older buildings were either joined together from two separate bldgs to become one, or one bldgs separated to become two. I'd imagine a fire door would be required between two bldgs where they had a common opening, which looks to be the case here. I'm guessing when it was renovated for condos/apts, the door had a cool factor, so the entrance was brickedup but the door kept.

    I met Danny (via his mom) briefly way back when before he started his life-after-partridges, and his suck-the-air-out-of-the-room personality even then was pretty much like it is now. I think it's great he lives here, and wish him luck wherever he's going next.

    In all of my experience with old buildings, those doors were usually used for either fire-proofing in between buildings, or for cold storage on one side. I lived in a building that was once a furrier and they had one to separate the shop from the conditioned storage for the furs. The meat packing district also has a lot, since growing businesses would just buy whatever business was next to them, cut out a hole and put a lintel in, and then usually one of these doors.

    Salvaged doors are selling anywhere from $750 to $3000 depending on size and condition.
