    This is the location of the old Raleigh S&L building that is currently slated for demolition.

    The Garland Jones building -

    The address is on northwest corner of Hargett and McDowell streets

    I would have guessed Blount Street, one block North of LUMP Gallery.  I believe it is a Masonic Lodge currently.

    Well, Wright’s Cafe was at the corner of Martin at Salisbury (300, I think), so that would put the Academy at 302 Salisbury.

    Shelby Lyn wins…since technically I said the first person to post the name of the right street. Robert was right that it’s where the Garland Jones building is now, but, GJ on the corner of Salisbury and Martin. Matt Frye is right about the actual street number.
