Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Our Flashback Friday postcard this week depicts a rare view of a long-lost Raleigh landmark — Raleigh High School. This was Raleigh’s first public high school, and was erected on W. Morgan St. between the city water tower and First Presbyterian Church in 1907.
This week Flashback Friday mingles among the cotton merchants in the 300 block of S. Wilmington Street. The image in this beautifully tinted postcard depicts an era in Raleigh’s history which is now long lost.
Flashback Friday visits the old State School for the Blind this week. Few readers are probably aware that its campus once occupied a verdant Caswell Square, which nowadays is encircled with busy traffic and crowded with state government office buildings.
