Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
For Flashback Friday this week we feature a 1960s era photochrome postcard depicting Raleigh’s familiar ‘Three Presidents Monument’ on Capitol Square. The bronze and granite landmark has anchored the east plaza of the square since 1948.
Our featured Flashback Friday postcard this week depicts a nostalgic view of the Saint Mary’s School campus which now exists only in long ago lost memories. Sure, Smedes Hall and East and West Rock are still there, but the view today is a far cry from how it appeared in 1908 when this card was dropped into the letterbox.
This week Flashback Friday visits a longtime Raleigh dining institution — the Angus Barn. Perched on a hillock overlooking US 70 near the Raleigh-Durham Airport, the landmark restaurant has sated the appetites of local ‘beefeaters’ since 1960.
