Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
1890 Bretsch House, Blount Street
Although many of its finest examples were destroyed in the 1960s and 1970s, Raleigh maintains a relatively large stock of Victorian houses. Perhaps the most frequently overlooked houses from this era are Folk Victorians.
If you’ve passed by the intersection of Peace and Wilmington Streets in Downtown Raleigh, chances are you’ve noticed a rather distinct building take shape. This striking new building is the new AIA NC Center for Architecture & Design.
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!
