Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
If you’ve passed by the intersection of Peace and Wilmington Streets in Downtown Raleigh, chances are you’ve noticed a rather distinct building take shape. This striking new building is the new AIA NC Center for Architecture & Design.
The new Morgan Street entrance
Since the 1920s, the Junior League of Raleigh has improved the community and the lives of those within it through education, outreach, and voluntarism. About a year ago, the organization moved in to the lower floor of a former IBM research facility on Hillsborough Street near the Capitol Building.
Often overlooked, this 1960s commercial building is a fine example of the International Style. It has the distinctive flair characteristic of its highly accomplished architect, George Matsumoto, along with a rejuvenated new appearance.
Over the course of the past few days, concrete munchers have been hard at work dismantling the building at 410 Oberlin Road in Cameron Village.
Now the building is completely razed, and new construction activity will soon be taking place near the busy intersection of Oberlin Rd. and Clark Ave.
