Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Our Flashback Friday postcard this week depicts downtown Raleigh’s familiar Art Deco-styled landmark, the Capital Club Building. The 12-story skyscraper has occupied the corner of Martin and Salisbury Streets since 1930.
This week for Flashback Friday we feature a photochrome postcard depicting the former Wachovia Bank building on Fayetteville St. First introduced in the the late 1930s, ‘chromes’ have dominated American postcard production since the mid-1950s.
We have published several “Fayetteville Street looking north” postcards on Flashback Friday, but this one is a little different — in 1917 the writer tagged a specific office building, new on the street scene at the time. ‘X’ marks the spot.
