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

I cannot wait until Thursday! Not only will Raleigh’s Visual Art Exchange be celebrating the opening of their new digs at 309 W. Martin St., but the long-lost and forgotten iconic  ‘Buddha Wall’ will be made available for public viewing for the first time in more than 20 years.
A few weeks ago we published a postcard depicting Raleigh’s Woman’s Club on Hillsboro St. in the 1940s. This Holiday Inn, the “area’s first round inn,” was built on the site in 1969.
This week on Flashback Friday we present a ‘two-fer’ — two postcards showing Raleigh’s early 20th century City Auditorium and City Hall — the Municipal Building. The dual-purpose complex was designed by the prominent Atlanta architect P. Thornton Marye in the Beaux Arts style, and was erected in 1910.
