Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Our postcard feature for Flashback Friday this week depicts Raleigh’s historic First Baptist Church. A solitary figure is seen in a quiet moment on a spring day, taking in the view of the imposing Gothic Revival building from the expansive grounds of Capitol Square.
For Flashback Friday this week we have a very special early 20th century postcard. This decorative card features both color tinting and high-relief embossing. And as if that alone weren’t enough, the card is embellished with gold leaf highlights.
“Gracious charm in pleasant surroundings” could only describe Raleigh’s now lost Plantation Inn. The classy motel offered road-weary travelers a hospitable and comfortable rest-over on the long journey along US 1 from the North to sunny Florida.
