| 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 37: History already had been made on this corner before this picture was taken of Gay Street and Magnolia Avenue in the late nineteenth century. The house left of the intersection ... was the home of Dr. and Mrs. N. T. Lupton. Lupton, a chemistry professor, founded in 1887 a popular club that was named the Lupton Conversation Club after his death five years later. Across Gay Street was the John Wills home, later the Kappa Sigma fraternity house and now the location of [AuburnBank]. The Wills home earlier had been the site of the Auburn Masonic Female College. At left rear, north of the Lupton house, appears the outline of the two-story pubilc school built in 1899. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
