Within days of the destruction of the exquisitely designed modernist Paschal house last month, the Diocese of Raleigh announced that the former residence of the Bishop of Raleigh on Bilyeu St., known familiarly as “Little Maryknoll,” would soon meet the same fate. Sadly, demolition began Wednesday.
A postcard depicting another historic downtown Raleigh church is our feature for Flashback Friday this week. The building seen here, Tabernacle Baptist Church, has occupied this corner on Moore Square since 1881.
This week for Flashback Friday we feature a 1920s era ‘white border’ postcard depicting Raleigh’s oldest standing ‘skyscraper’ — the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Building. A familiar downtown Raleigh landmark, the building towers over the corner of Hargett and Salisbury Streets.
