| Summary: | 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 195: For more than a century, the Lane House occupied this corner at Thach Avenue and College Street .... Former Confederate General James H. Lane, a professor of civil engineering and drawing, bought the house and its grounds in 1884 for $1,200. Lane's daughter, Kate Lane, deeded the property to the University in 1960 for $150,000. The house was to be torn down to make way for a new library, but the Woman's Club of Auburn bought it and had it moved to Sanders Street. ... Besides saving the historic landmark, the club completed a quest that had begum almost from its founding in 1919 for a permanent building. Photo source: Auburn University Photographic Services.
