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 131: The Fire Station and City Hall were located in this building just south of the Post Office on Gay Street in the 1930s. City Hall in those days was a little larger than a double garage. The fire department consisted of four college students who worked for ten dollars a month and an unfurnished room. When a fire broke out, the first student to arrive at the station drove the truck to the fire. The others climbed aboard en route or got to the scene as best they could. From 3rd edition, 2013, page 155: At left was the home of Arthur St. Charles Dunstan, head of API's Electrical Engineering Department for more than half a century.
