French Doors in the Moody Gosset House

The sets of french doors which form such a feature of the Moody Gosset House were probably a more effecient use of the corrugated iron construction panelling, allowing the insertion of a complete door space, rather than requiring custom cutting of the panelling to allow the fitting of windows. All the doors, the single entrance door and the two sets of french doors on the front of the building, as well as the door at the rear and the two sets of french doors on either side, have the same design.
