I stubbed my toe on the top stairstep and it hurt for hours.

The old theater's wooden stairsteps creaked under every visitor's feet.

The garden's staircaselike terraces descended toward the river, each level blooming with lavender.

They built stairwise terraces along the slope to prevent erosion.

The terrace was built stairwise down the hillside, creating a series of flat planting beds.

She photographed the Penrose staircase, fascinated by the illusion of an endless ascent that seemed to loop back on itself.

The mysterious noises seemed to echo through the old hotel's dim stairhalls at night.

She noticed dust motes swirling in the stairhall as sunlight spilled through the tall windows.

The old lighthouse had narrow spiral staircases that creaked under every step.

The old mansion's stairheads creaked whenever someone passed, as if protesting years of neglect.
