Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This week we feature a rare photochrome postcard depicting Raleigh’s Hayes Barton Baptist Church. Erected at Five Points in 1928, this building was destroyed in a spectacular early morning fire in 1962.
One of the most iconic of all postcard styles, this is Raleigh’s version of “Greetings from …” Each letter features a unique landmark from across the Capital, with NC State’s Bell Tower featured most prominently on the front.
