Unfortunately the cost to replace these original doors, if they aren't maintained, is very expensive. I've seen rounded and arched doors yanked out of character homes and
replaced with basic doors. Sadly, the homes lose their special appeal.
Prices seem to start at $1200, from my quick investigating, but most were in the $2000 range (and up, depending on wood species) - for just the door.
They're definitely an investment and a commitment to maintaining
the character and history of the house.
But maybe that's why old-house lovers appreciate them; they're a rarity and they are special.
