This is the Old Drill Tower found on Columbus in Waco, TX. I tried to search some history, but only found another drill tower that was built in 1971 closer to the river. Clearly, this tower is much older and deserves the name. I don’t think this is used for anything that I know of.

I love the yellow door on this blue house. Caught my eye and reminded me of so many of the beach houses I grew up around in Galveston, TX as a boy. There were not a lot of blue houses with yellow doors, but there were a few. So in one sense, this yellow door is out of place. We are no where near the sea. But it is a fine looking door.
I also included a wall mural of Starry Starry Night I found on a building near by.

Driving into town, I spotted the doors on the Waco Federation of Women’s Clubs. I’m not sure what this federation consists of, but the building they occupy is worth a shot, especially the doors. I know, I could probably search the internet and find a viable explanation of this federation, but I’m too lazy to do so.
OK, OK, I looked it up. I found this bit of information on their Facebook page:
Time to order Caladium Bulbs for the Summer planting. Our price of $1 per bulb has remained the same this year. We have White, Pink and Red for your consideration. Contact us on Facebook, any Club Member (BSP LEA or POP, ADK BP, WEMC, Garden Patch, or Individual Members) or Barbara Lloyd at 254-836-4681. Orders are closed March 1
Yea. There was a time when I would have been all over this, back in my homeowners days. But alas, living in an apartment, planting Caladium Bulbs doesn’t sound all that appealing.
But back to the main point: the front door. It is Thursday Doors after all.

I found this wonderful door walking through downtown Waco with my boys. I was inspired to rejoin Thursday Doors because of this door. It’s too magnificent not to share. It’s the door to an apartment building and probably the most creative door I’ve found as of yet.
Not sure why they had the ugly screaming man next to it. I guess they are trying to ward off demons.
You can find more Thursday Doors here at Dan’s site.
It’s been a while since I contributed to the Thursday Doors challenge. So long, that the one hosting the challenge quit, and passed it off on another blogger. Things change.
I took the following in downtown Johnson City. This was actually behind several building in the parking lot, and I loved the character of the backside of the buildings.
This one was actually the front door to a restaurant.
