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 the campus of Shaw University. The scene depicted is at the corner of Wilmington and South streets. Seen in this view are, left to right, Estey Hall, Mansion House and Shaw Hall.
This week we feature a rare photochrome postcard depicting Raleigh’s Hayes Barton Baptist Church. Erected at Five Points in 1928, this building was destroyed in a spectacular early morning fire in 1962.
One of the most iconic of all postcard styles, this is Raleigh’s version of “Greetings from …” Each letter features a unique landmark from across the Capital, with NC State’s Bell Tower featured most prominently on the front.
