Visit Raleigh is probably the official website for Raleigh tourist information. On their webpage, they have a downtown walking tour. This self guided tour takes you to 65 stops spread out all over downtown. To do the entire tour yourself takes some time and I’ve been working on getting a picture of each stop. I have not finished the tour yet, and honestly have been putting it off for awhile, but the weather is slowly getting nicer so I’ll be wrapping up my report soon enough. Here are the first 10 stops on the tour. I’ll post the rest over the next few weeks.
1. State Capitol Building (1840)
2. First Presbyterian Church (1900)
3. Odd Fellows Building (1924)
4. Raleigh Banking and Trust Building (1913-1936)
5. Masonic Temple (1907)
6. Briggs Hardware Building (1874) and Raleigh City Museum
7. Capital Club Building (1930)
8. Century Post Office (1874)
9. Wake County Courthouse (1970) and Office Building (1942)
10. Sir Walter Hotel (1924)
