Regarding the palladian windows with fake muntins, aren't the windows themselves fake? In other words, can you see in/out?

They are applied to the outside of the building yes - I remember when they went up. That's why the backside of the glass is painted black.

I should have wondered why it was always dark inside - I just thought the windows were heavily tinted. Which I guess they are - very heavily.

That first picture of 1122-1124 Broad st is actually taken on Club
Blvd at Iredell st. looking east towards the intersection of Broad and Club. I was living on Clarendon st in the 60's and used to go to Eckerds and the pharmacy that was at 1124 Broad st. I think the bank eventually took over the whole building.
Later,
Rob

i love the architecture, but once again, you don't comment on the people in the pictures. last week there was a ghost, this week, its a one-legged woman casually walking/hopping down the side of the street. where do you get these mysterio pictures?

I think the doorway on West Club must have been bricked up for the bank. The corner of the building at the intersection was then used as a walk-in vault.

This building also housed the 'Hospital Pharmacy' back in the 50's and into the early 60's before it became a bank.
It had a soda fountain with great vanilla and cherry cokes, orangeades.
