Robby Poore, son of Anne and Ray Poore - and grandson of the Van Arsdalls, who lived at 421 Carolina Circle - has posted some fabulous mid-century photos of Carolina Circle, and Durham in general, on his personal Flickr page. There are several albums (1948, 1949, 1950, 1950-1954, 1957, 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970), many of which contain a multitude of interior and exterior shots of 426 and 421 Carolina Circle. A few of them include: the front facade, a side exterior, the living room space, the rear alley, and a view front the front door of the now-demolished Apex Street Bridge.
