| Summary: | 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 54: Auburn's white public school pupils learned reading, writing, and arithmetic before the turn of the century in this one-story building on Tichenor Avenue that had housed a chair factory. This school, the Auburn Female Institute, offered college courses for young ladies, but admitted boys and girls to its primary and intermediate classes. In 1899, the old wooden building gave way to the new two-story brick school at left. The brick school held grades 1-11 of public schooling for whites until a separate high school was built in 1914.
