Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This week’s installment of Flashback Friday features a 1966 postcard of the arena designed by Matthew Nowicki at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Dorton Arena is the most significant piece of modern architecture in North Carolina, and probably all of the Southeast.
This week we present our first Flashback Friday follow-up. In last week’s Raleigh bus station post we posed the question to identify the tall building seen looming in the background. Several readers correctly identified it as the Hotel Carolina.
Our Flashback Friday post for this week features a vintage ‘linen postcard’ image of Raleigh’s Moderne-styled bus station. It was built in 1940 and later demolished in the early 1980s.
