This fun sliding door would likely bring a smile to the faces of early 20th-century architects Charles and Henry Greene.
 
Homeowner Diana Tanner says the movable door—situated at the entrance to the master suite—is an adaptation of one of the brothers’ ideas.

“I turned to my Greene and Greene books for inspiration,” she recalls. “That is where I found an old barn door similar to the one you see hanging at my home.”

The clever slider became a team project. Builder Bill Dougherty showed the book’s picture of the door to the craftsmen at Sonoran Doors, who fabricated it in maple.

A metal artisan designed and crafted the door’s custom top-mounted roller-driven steel track, and a glass artist created a colorful stained-glass inset.
