Yep, I thought about that and checked HD and Lowes and didn't see anything close.

Houston is a big town (4th largest in the country). You'd think they'd have someplace that had that sort of stuff.

Yep, around one door. Yep, trying to match the other doors. Actually, there is one doorframe where we have this stop that we could reuse, except we'd have to be able to get this 100 year old molding off without breaking it which sounds like a tough job.

I'd bring a scrap to a local lumber yard and see if they can match it.

It's a 100 year old house that was built by the original owner out in the country.
