Wednesday Walk: An inside walk this time in a cool historic house

This post is for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge? Read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

Let me start off by saying a lot more photos than my normal posts today.

After I shared a shot of a cool historic Building at 405 County Street here in New Bedford, I was contacted by a Lawyer who has her offices in the building, and she invited me to come and see and take photos inside the building and that's what I will share today.

It was so nice of her to invite me in, and I have cleared with her that it's fine to share these photos online, as she is proud of the building.

The ornate details inthe building were so cool, and I won't say too much about each photo, but let them tell the story

This was the top floor, well not if you count the widows watch, which was like a self-contained unit with a kitchen and bedrooms, apparently at one stage Nuns stayed here

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.

This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines

Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.

Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.

Try and get a few shots not just one

Add a bit of a write up about where you walked

Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss

Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .

Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.


unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

What a wonderful opportunity to photograph such a beautiful place, I love the openings and that large window with the lighting, and the views are lovely too. This indoor tour was brilliant!😍

Indeed I was so lucky to be invited in to see it :)

Thanks for bringing it along, it’s brilliant! Have a lovely day!

👍🙂👍

Oh wow, that is really cool! That was nice of them to invite you in. It's funny, but my grandma's old house is now a law office. We went in there a while ago when we were working on setting up our trust, and unfortunately, unlike this place, you can't even tell it used to be a house.

Yeah so nice of her to invite me in and I am glad they ove and respect the historic charm

cool photos, I love all the designs. I remember taking photos of doors and windows in Vienna. You just gave an idea to look for them. Thank you.

Cool would love to see them Vienna has such amazing architecture

Good day, dear friend @tattoodjay.

This is a beautiful building; honestly, I'm not surprised that its interior is so lovely. With such a striking facade, I expected nothing less.

Excellent shots.

Good day, Mr. @tattoodjay.

It's wonderful that they contacted you and that you visited this lovely property; the interior is so beautiful, especially considering the front of the house.

You took some truly beautiful photos.

I love old houses. They have so many more fun details and charm. I wish regular houses be built more interestingly.

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

Historical buildings are fascinating! I always love the way they serve as a reminder of a time when attention to details really mattered, like to can stand there and really feel how there was pride in the work done... so different from the rather "generic" look of new construction in 2026.

Have a great day

How are you friends @tattoodjay, from afar praying for you health. The picture taken perfectly shows the ornaments of the historical building. Very lucky to be able to see the interior of the historical building. The shape of the building is for four seasons and the decoration is well finished. Have a great day. Greetings.

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

and thanks I am doing pretty good :)
Have a great day

Wow love that building. What a cool place to have an office. The details are incredible. And the paint job on the outside is immaculate and great colors.

its an awesome property so glad I got to see inside it :)

Beautiful! I find so much beauty in a building like that—those details that show the passage of time, yet it remains so captivating. That’s what’s so wonderful about historic architecture. Thank you for your initiative, and I wish you all the best.
Here’s my contribution to your initiative.

A virtual and respectful hug!
