Title
1890s : Looking south from Samford 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 , 3rd edition , 2013 , depicting the history of the city and the university . From page 50 : Looking south in the 1890s from Samford Hall , one saw a rural setting , complete with barn and lot . At right , where Mary Martin Hall now stands , was the home of Professor P . H . Mell . At left , near the horizon , was the Experiment Station . Auburn University Archives identified the long , one-story frame building in the center as a bowling alley . Barely visible , to the viewer's left of the barn , was a cyclone pit , a reminder of the storms that have severely damaged Auburn in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries .
