Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This week for Flashback Friday we feature another postcard depicting a historic downtown Raleigh church. The Church of the Good Shepherd has occupied the corner of Hillsboro and McDowell Streets since 1875; but the grand Gothic Revival building seen here is not the original structure.
For Fastback Friday this week, we stop in at the Pine Tops tourist home. The Spanish Colonial styled residence still stands on Wake Forest Rd. in Raleigh, although the view is now almost completely obscured by, well, pine trees.
This week for Flashback Friday we’ll make a brief stopover at the Raleigh Cabana Motel. In the spring of 1964 our correspondent, ‘Elizabeth,’ mailed two photochrome postcards depicting the motel back home to her mother in Greenville, SC.
