Thursday Doors…the historic Sheridan Inn

Deborah and I explored the first floor of the historic Sheridan Inn on our day in town, Thursday, the horses’ day off, although I don’t think they (the horses) participate in Thursday Doors. They’re too busy enjoying having no riders, grazing, and sometimes just horsing around. Yup, I couldn’t pass that one up. The upstairs of the inn where the guest rooms are is off limits but there’s plenty to see downstairs and of course more than a few doors to share for this Thursday Doors edition.

According to Historic Hotels of America:

The historic Sheridan Inn, designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, is located in Sheridan, Wyoming, and is steeped in Western tradition. Designed by Thomas Kimball to resemble a Scottish hunting lodge and built in 1893 by the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad on behalf of the Inn’s first operator, William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, who auditioned new talent for his “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West” company from the front porch. Following a 50-year vacancy and extensive $7 million renovation, the Sheridan Inn once again opened its doors to welcome visitors in May 2015. Today, guests are able to step back in time and experience the bygone days of the Wild West while enjoying modern comforts.

Here’s a closer look at the front doors. I would deem them attractively useful.

In the parlor, the sideboard doors sport attractive design, while venturing around the far end of the table…

…reveals a screen that a diehard door-woman might consider a door to the fireplace. You get that, right? That’s all for today, but I’m sure there will be another visit or two, whether for doors or just to enjoy the grandeur of the hotel, who knows? Happy Doorsday, all! Thanks to Dan for opening the door almost every week of the year to doors of various sorts from around the world.
