Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Abandoned Fashion Center



I have no information on this place. The “Fashion Center” is just a shell of a building facade. It appears that something will be put in its place once the front end is destroyed. See my earlier post on the Raleigh Sandwich Shop to see another business nearby in the same condition.

Located at South Wilmington St.

2008 Goodnight, Raleigh!

Want a tiny physical reminder of Raleigh? City-Blox are 2"x3" photographic prints mounted directly to wood blocks. You can support this blog by buying them at Etsy.
