Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This is the Warehouse District as seen from the Top of the Tower Restaurant and Lounge, on the 20th floor of the Clarion Building. The intersection in the foreground is that of West Morgan and North Harrington Streets.
A stopped train on the tracks at the intersection of West Jones Street and Glenwood Avenue proved to be no obstacle for revelers on a Friday night. At first, many hopped under it like the gentleman pictured above.
The first NCSU library was located on the second floor of Holladay Hall, but this is the location of the first D.H. Hill Library. In 1926 this building was constructed and named in honor of one time librarian and later president of NCSU, Daniel Harvey Hill, Jr. The senior D.H. Hill was a Confederate general during the Civil War and brother-in-law to Stonewall Jackson, considered by many to be one of the most talented military leaders in United States history.
This week Flashback Friday soars high above Raleigh’s beloved State Capitol. The sophisticated 19th century Greek Revival building has stood on this spot for 175 years. We’ll also take a peek at the history of this building and its predecessors. So climb aboard and enjoy the flight!
