Title	1940s: The Windmill
Description	This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 204: A beer joint that got its name from the huge blades out front was a popular hangout on U.S. Highway 29 a few hundred yards from Dean Road. The Windmill was off-limits to coeds, but offered male students and other customers cold beer and the warmth of an old stove. Veterans liked to hoist a few and tell war stories there. One former patron recalled observing "whooping and hollering" but no fighting at the Windmill in the late 1940s. However, a decade earlier, the operator was indicted by a grand jury on charges of running a "disorderly house" the Lee County Bulletin reported. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
