Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This week for Flashback Friday we feature this beautifully tinted, chromolithographic postcard depicting Raleigh’s Edenton Street Methodist Church. The ‘newsy’ message written on this card provides us with a personal glimpse into everyday life as it was in North Carolina more than 100 years ago. It is a delight!
This week for Flashback Friday — we present Independence Hall in Philadelphia! Well, actually, not; the building seen in this postcard is Main Building, erected on the old Methodist Orphanage campus in 1903. But it has always evoked an image of Independence Hall to me.
This week’s Flashback Friday postcard depicts the old YMCA building on the NC State University campus.
The YMCA was built in 1913 with partial funding from oil tycoon and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller.
