The Capitol Building From Memorial Auditorium
The view from Memorial Auditorium just got a bit nicer with the addition of a few new buildings, planters, and greenery.
A closer view reveals the new shrubbery in place between South and Lenoir Streets. Noticably absent is the metal sculpture that rotates along an axis (I don’t know the name of the piece or who the artist is). I first noticed it when it was on Fayetteville Mall. After it was reopened to vehicular traffic, it was moved here in front of the auditorium. It has now moved for a third (or fourth or fifth) time. Do you know where the sculpture now rests?

The sculpture you are asking about is called “Immigrant Gate,” by Jim Gallucci of Greensboro.

He’s done a whole series of metal “gates.” An earlier piece of his is an orange steel sculpture that sits over behind the archives building. That piece has been there for many years. I don’t know what happened to “Immigrant Gate,” though!
Great shot from the fountain looking up Fayetteville St toward the capitol!
