The welcome area of the Edmisten Law building on the corner of Salisbury and Hargett Streets appears to have been unchanged since the late 1970s or early 1980s. Although law offices aren’t known for out of the ordinary or cutting-edge interior décor, this one in particular seems to be especially locked in time and unchanged for quite a while.

Reminds me of the foyer at Collinwood.

Anyone remember Dark Shadows? ;)
