ABOVE: The historic Josiah Bell house is adorned with Victorian-style 

 decorations for Beaufort's holiday walk. 



It is the mid- 1800s again in the historic 

 Josiah Bell house in downtown Beaufort. 



In a large yellow parlor with mauve 

 woodwork, three women in Victorian-style 

 dresses play the rich sound of "Oh Holy 

 Night" on their harps. 



In the adjoining parlor, three young 

 girls, who look prim and proper in their long 

 dresses, knit and embroider items near a tree 

 trimmed with lace and German ornaments. 



All of them are celebrating a Victorian- 

 style Christmas, part of the Coastal Carolina 

 Christmas walk held each year in Beaufort.
