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

The Garland H. Jones Building, Revisited




This building has been in the news a bit lately. It has, at least, in the local blogging scene. The Raleigh Connoiseur, New Raleigh, among others all ran interesting pieces discussing the approaching destruction of this unique and historic building.

The destruction of this piece of modernist architecture downtown will be a significant loss that will be remembered for years to come.

When there was a comment about parts of the Garland Jones building being ‘re-purposed’ in the new Justice Center, I haven’t seen anything more detailed than that. I’m guessing that the good bits like the marble, steel mullions and other high quality materials will be somehow recycled. It will be interesting to see.
