Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
A few weeks ago we published a postcard depicting Raleigh’s Woman’s Club on Hillsboro St. in the 1940s. This Holiday Inn, the “area’s first round inn,” was built on the site in 1969.
This week on Flashback Friday we present a ‘two-fer’ — two postcards showing Raleigh’s early 20th century City Auditorium and City Hall — the Municipal Building. The dual-purpose complex was designed by the prominent Atlanta architect P. Thornton Marye in the Beaux Arts style, and was erected in 1910.
Our postcard view this week depicts Raleigh’s Mediterranean-styled Woman’s Club building. It was built on Hillsboro St. in 1914 and featured a lounge, dining room, meeting rooms, and apartments for single women.
