Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
In several previous installments of Flashback Friday we’ve published vintage postcards depicting Raleigh’s ‘Main Street’. This week, however, the charm of this particular card is not in the visual depiction itself, but in the message written on the back.
Goodnight Raleigh continues to explore our city’s forgotten past. In this, our second installment of Project Bird’s Eye View, we reveal the history of the former Raleigh Sandwich Shop building at 215 S. Wilmington St. This Raleigh landmark is located just a few doors away from our first project entry, Slim’s Downtown Distillery. Judging by the rough common bond brickwork, the solid stone sills and lintels, and unadorned facade, 215 S. Wilmington likely dates from the antebellum period.
