Suzzallo Library, Main Entrance, University of Washington - Seattle, WA - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

Suzzallo Library is the Graduate level library on the University of Washington campus and with it's 35 miles of book shelves and magnificent reading room, it is the soul of the University.

A building this important should have grand doors and Suzzallo definitely does, 6 of them in fact. The entrance has three main entry arches and above each of those is a statue of a figure representing "Mastery," "Inspiration" and "Thought". Within each of those archways are two doors topped by iron grillwork. Within the grillwork is the name of famous printers throughout time - Aldus, Caxton, Guttenberg.., and their birth and death dates. These can be seen in the close up photos. Originally the grillwork covered the entire doors but the doors were deemed too heavy and the metal was removed and sent as scrap to the campus metal shop.

Type of material of the door: Wood Functional door?: Yes Location of this door/way: On public property Is it accessable only by paid admission": No Style: Gothic Address or physical location: University of Washington Campus - Red Square Seattle, Washington
