I did not get to photograph the entire building due to missing rotted floors and parts that were just incredibly unsafe. Who knows, maybe if the building does get re-purposed, these will serve as the "before" shots.
I cannot find much history of the building itself on-line other than it was ready to open in 1916 and closed for a newer facility and this:
"In 1916, the Police Headquarters Building, on the corner of Bedford and High Streets was ready for occupancy. The old court house, along with the other buildings, was torn down and Purchase St was widened. In 1996, the construction of a new police facility began. The building was completed in March of 1997, and the doors to the old Headquarters at Bedford and High Streets were closed. The Police Department now operates out of its new facility at 685 Pleasant Street; the site of the old Fall River Stadium, McDonald Junk Yard, and most recently, Britland Park."
