While the wooden façade is constantly being tagged, painted over, designed, painted and tagged again, the antique hammered brass door handle of The Violet Hour stays the same. Is there something slightly off about it, or has it just been through the wringer since its possible previous life on the front door of a Lake Forest mansion? Either way, I wish it wasn’t so hard to get past after 8PM.
