Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
After countless stays of execution and pleas from Preservation North Carolina to save the Fabius Briggs House located at 1301 Hillsborough Street, it seems its day has come. Built in 1906 by a son of Thomas H. Briggs, founder of Briggs Hardware, it has stood witness to the evolution of one of Raleigh’s most attractive and well traveled streets.
My downtown neighbor.
Someone painted a mermaid on the water tower of Tower Street, and at night it appears she is swimming through the trees.
Although we’re stepping back in time this week for Flashback Friday, we aren’t traveling too far. The above view show the center city in the early 1980s.
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.
