Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Nearly a year ago we published on Flashback Friday the story of a familiar Fayetteville St. landmark — Raleigh’s downtown United States Post Office. This week we revisit that theme, but with a historical twist, and present to our readers — ‘A Tale of Two Post Offices.’
Our feature postcard for Flashback Friday this week is of Ricks Hall, located on the NC State University campus. Although the card depicts a historic campus landmark, we find interest not so much in the card itself, but more as a glimpse into American radio programming history.
This week for Flashback Friday we feature a beautiful ‘photochrome’ postcard depicting North Carolina’s Legislative Building, probably Raleigh’s most recognizable modernist structure. Photochromes such as this have been the standard for American postcard production since the 1950s.
