Wake Wednesday - Old City Auditorium and Municipal Building

Do you remember the old City Auditorium  and Municipal Building that stood at the corner of Davie and Fayetteville Streets until 1960?

 
Enjoy this vintage postcard view. More information on the Auditorium and the vintage postcard depicting it can be found a Goodnight Raleigh. Click through. It is an interesting read.

The remnants of this building are repurposed into the ground level of the Sir Walter Apartments. If you use the Google maps Street View as shown below, you can definitely see the bones of the Old Auditorium supporting the building and lending a little Beaux Arts turn of the century charm.
