Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Our Flashback Friday postcard this week depicts a Fayetteville St. of more than 100 years ago. This view is very different from the typical postcard showing Raleigh’s Main Street, and for a particular reason. Savvy readers might be able to guess why.
This week Flashback Friday picks up our postcard tour of the state government buildings encircling Capitol Square. We began our tour nearly a year ago, and have visited the Justice Building, and the former NC Supreme Court and Revenue buildings thus far. Our fourth stop is the former Education Building on Edenton Street.
Raleigh’s long lost Olivia Raney Library is the subject of this week’s Flashback Friday postcard. The beautifully detailed building, which, to me, evoked the image of a grand ‘Italian palazzo,’ once stood prominently at the corner of Hillsboro and Salisbury Streets, opposite the State Capitol.
