Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This week we feature a beautifully tinted early postcard depicting the Baptist University for Women, now known as Meredith College. Our card shows its original building on Blount Street.
And the brief, hand-written message on the back says it all.
This week for Flashback Friday, we feature this rather grim-looking, real-photo postcard view of the State Pen in Raleigh. It was mailed to a sailor on board the naval cruiser USS Galveston in 1907.
Our Flashback Friday postcard this week features an early view of the campus of Shaw University. The scene depicted is at the corner of Wilmington and South streets. Seen in this view are, left to right, Estey Hall, Mansion House and Shaw Hall.
