1/15/2014 0 Comments Behind a photograph, Report 2Aunt Betsy HolmesWe don't know much about Aunt Betsy Holmes. Internet articles often ponder over this topic. I'd love to inspire a search and reopen this topic . Over the christmas break I went on a little search. The image above was taken in Downtown Raleigh, at the state capitol. The church in the background still exists!, The church 1st Baptist Church. The building to the right of the church is now the Agriculture Building. Here's how I figured this out. Aspects of the ChurchNotice the arched window of the church and the scroll work inlaid at its top point. Then look at the wall below the door, and then look at the columns supporting the wall. The Agriculture BuildingThe photograph on the left is of the old Agriculture building. In the postcard, this building is shown to the right of the church. Click on the b&w photo to expand the view. There are some interesting points to consider with this building that I am working on covering on in my next post. Stay tuned!
