description This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 2nd edition, 1996, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 100-101: Professor W.W. Hill (centerfront, wearing cap and white shirt) and his helpers worked in about 1916 to increase the supply of electricity for college and town. To create the space for new power-plant machinery, they hauled an old engine and generator from the powerhouse behind Langdon Hall to the train station. They used heavy manila rope, a winch, real horse power, and a wagon with specially built wooden wheels. In the background are Toomer Drugstore, Burton's Book Store, and other buildings. Hill, who taught electrical engineering, also had charge of the town water supply. Photo source: Mrs. R. Platt Boyd, Jr.
