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

Raleigh Calling, Installment Two: Swaying

Installment two in Raleigh Calling (images taken via cellphone). This one will probably be easy for anyone who spends much time downtown. But maybe you’ll have a hard time recognizing it because it’s so sway-y. Or not.

As in installment one, the winner is the first to identify the building above. The prize is a 5″ x 7″ print of the image. Additional prints will be awarded for providing either the year in which it was built or how may floors it has.

I know this, but I’ll let someone else take a shot since I won the last one… ;)

The Original Progress Energy Building.

Perhaps if the building name didn’t appear when I moved my mouse over the pic…

One Progress Plaza and a nibble of Two Progress Plaza to the left. How I miss Davie St! My office used to be in TPP.

Thanks to Eric for being so gracious and stepping aside. And congrats to Javier for winning! The editors will be in touch with you to coordinate the delivery of your prize.

Bonus points to Matt Frye for the extra tidbit of correct information. I’ll consult with the editors to see if that also warrants a prize.

Oh yeah, as to your comment, Sara: I think you’d count as a winner if you want to be. I mean, it’s not your fault that we messed up and put the answer right there. All you have to do is type out the answer, and you’ll get a prize, too (if you want).

I’m writing from inside this building! mwahaha! (don’t tell my boss!) :)

I believe it was built in ’77? And the city club is on 21 so I’ll say 21 floors…

Congrats to Carter as well! You are also a winner! The editors will be in touch with you to coordinate sending you your prize. Thanks everyone.

Technically, it has 22 floors if you count the Lower Level.
