Friday - Grace Episcopal Church New Bedford MA

Grace Episcopal Church New Bedford, MA

Good morning, and have a great day

Yesterday morning ( as I prepare this post, so probably a week ago as you read it) I after a sunrise walk at a local beach, I stopped on County Street on the way home to capture a couple of cool buildings one of them being the Grace Episcopal Church, which will be the focus for today's post.

People from the church contacted me and have invited me to go and see and take photos inside the church, I hope to do that on Tuesday

A little about the history of the church The church is a great example of High Victorian Gothic architecture, standing prominently on the downtown New Bedford skyline.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was designed by the prestigious Boston firm Ware & Van Brunt (composed of William Robert Ware and Henry Van Brunt). Known for designing iconic institutions like Harvard University's Memorial Hall, they imbued Grace Church with rich, heavy textures, utilizing rough-hewn stone masonry, a majestic 130-foot steeple and bell tower, and intricate decorative brickwork along the eaves

I have stopped by here a couple of times to get photos of it, but previously the light had not bene ideal, was happy with the photos I got yesterday

As I parked I saw this statue tucked away in some bushes.

Love the church photos. The details around the doors are great. For the big shots, I like the black and white. The sky is so dramatic and I think black and white captures that better.

Good day, Mr. @tattoodjay.

It’s great that, after returning from the beach, you stopped at this beautiful spot to photograph this charming church.

The photos you took are lovely.

Hello, dear friend @tattoodjay.

The architecture of this church is beautiful; I love its openings and the lovely ironwork details.

Excellent shots.

Looks like an amazing church. I don’t know if you’ve come across my #churchproject at all? Between @steevc and myself, we’ve been exploring interesting churches in our posts and have been tagging them so that we can group these posts together in some way.
