Title	1888: Constructing 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 85: This workman used a wagon, a mule, and two oxen to help move materials used in building Samford Hall in 1888-90. The man held a separate line to each animal. Hitching posts were common in Auburn in those days. At this stage of construction, the building is recognized by its distinctive window trim. For many years, a white picket fence stood on the College Street side and a white board fence on the Thach Avenue side of Samford Park. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
