The Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor

URBAN FAIRIES BACKGROUNDSince around 1993, fairy doors, windows, staircases & rooms began appearing in and around our home. In the Spring of 2005 I noted similar doors in downtown Ann Arbor. Since April of 2005 I have been keeping track of what I have discovered. I created a web-site: urban-fairies.com where I compile much of my findings.

The doors on this guide are certainly not the only doors, but the easiest to tour. Be aware that these are “fairy doors” & may or may not be there at any given time. Have fun searching & always be gentle. You will likely spot other wee doors that are not affiliated with the urban-fairies®.

thanks so much! ~ Jonathan b. Wright, certified fairyologist

A Goblin DoorI do not like to reveal the location, because it does not seem wise to encourage people to be monkeying about a goblin door. It seems that a goblin or goblins have made this out of jealousy of the urban fairies. Obviously goblins because of the unseemly location (pigeon poo and cigarette butts) and tall proportions of the door.
