Doorway in College Street has not been identified and so is impossible to date: however, a date in the late 1890s is most likely.

On 16 February 1901 Whistler’s sister-in-law, Rosalind Birnie Philip (1873-1958), listed among small panels in his studio at 8 Fitzroy Street, ‘Doorway in College Street.' 1

A Shop [YMSM 376], dating from the mid-1880s, and Gold and Orange: The Neighbours [YMSM 423], from the 1890s, both of which were in Whistler's possession in 1901, are possible candidates for the 'Doorway in College Street'.
