Why are the doors on Carroll Gardens' Dennet Place, known to the locals as "Hobbit doors," so short? Nobody knows! But the neighbors do have some pretty entertaining stories about the people who used to live behind these 4-foot entryways, like the guy who built a plane inside and then couldn't get it through the doorway. Bilbo Baggins never had these kinds of problems! [BB via Gothamist]
