Interior Doorway Ornament, Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, Monroe, Louisiana

An Art Deco interior doorway in the Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Monroe, Louisiana, with a decorative panel above the door, photographed by Carol M. Highsmith.

Deco designers often concentrated ornament above doorways, where a panel of stylized motifs marks the entry. This detail shows the idea: a plain door below, and a decorative overdoor panel with stepped and chevron forms above. Adding an overdoor panel is an easy way to bring period character to an interior doorway without changing the door itself.
