Featured in this lot are two historical doors from Tombstone, Arizona Territory in the 1880s. One door is from the Schieffelin Hall, while the other was a door to the Tombstone Poice Department. The doors are screwed together with two hinges, allowing them to fold in and out. The first door, from the Schieffelin Hall, shows a skinnier construction and shows a large metal locking mechanism on the back. The Schieffelin Hall was built in 1881 by Albert Schieffelin, brother of Tombstone founder Ed Schieffelin, and William Harwood as a first class opera house, theater, recital hall, and a meeting place for Tombstone citizens. This is the largest standing adobe structure still existent in the United States southwest. The second door is from the Tombstone Police Department, across the street from Schieffelin Hall and shows a metal plate nailed to the top reading, "Police Dept.". The police door is wider than the Schieffelin Hall door as well. They show fair to good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. The Schieffelin Hall door measures 76 1/4" L x 17 3/4" W x 2" D, while the Police Department door measures 77" L x 30" W x 1 3/4" D. The total width of the doors while opened is 47 3/4" W. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona.
