Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
With the school year winding down to a close, Flashback Friday drops in this week on Raleigh’s oldest high school still in use — Needham B. Broughton. The monumental building has stood prominently at the corner of Peace and Saint Mary’s Streets since 1929.
This week Flashback Friday revisits the ‘tourist home’ era of Raleigh’s US Highway 1 north/south corridor through town. We’ve traveled this route before in earlier posts, so visit with us again this week as we stop in at Mrs. Chamblee’s Tourist Home on Blount Street.
The modernist Carmichael Gymnasium complex on the NC State University campus is our Flashback Friday feature this week. The card is a classic example of the ‘photochrome’ type, common in postcard production since the mid-1950s.
