Do you remember the colorful “Doors of Ashland” poster from the 1990s? Here’s a photo of the poster.
Doors of Ashland poster, 1995; the photographer was Betty Fulton Hansen.
I have been taking photos of beautiful and historic “doors of Ashland” since starting this WalkAshland website five years ago. Because of that, some of the doors shown in this photo essay may not look the same now as when I took the photo. I hope you will enjoy this creative journey through Part 1 of my “doors of Ashland” photos.
