Title	1883: Langdon Hall
Description	This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 38: Langdon Hall looked like a church in this picture, taken several years after it was moved on campus in 1883. In fact, it had been built before the Civil War as the Chapel of Auburn Masonic Female College near the present site of Auburn Bank at Gay Street and Magnolia Avenue. Nine years after being moved to its present location, the building was remodeled. In 1889, it was named in 1889 for Charles Carter Langdon, a one-time Mobile mayor and Alabama secretary of state and a trustee of the college from 1872 until his death in 1889.
