Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Our Flashback Friday postcard this week features an early view of Raleigh’s Dorothea Dix Hospital. Once known as the state ‘lunatic’ or ‘insane’ asylum, Dix Hospital cared for North Carolina’s mentally ill for more than 150 years.
This week for Flashback Friday we feature a classic photochrome postcard depicting Raleigh’s now lost Howard Johnson’s motel and restaurant.
This week’s Flashback Friday postcard features Raleigh’s iconic Memorial Auditorium. The monumental building was erected in 1932 as a memorial to the soldiers who died during “The Great War” (WWI). Architecturally, it is a beautiful complement to our Greek Revival-styled State Capitol.
