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 62: The seeds for now famous "Toomer's Corner" were planted in the Lazarus-Toomer drugstore advertised in the 1901 yearbook Chrysalis. Young Shel Toomer and his stepfather, Benjamin D. Lazarus, had recently moved their business there from several doors north on Main (now College) Street, the Orange and Blue reported. The partners now occupied the corner where tradition has it medicines were sold even before the Civil War. In 1904 Toomer bought his stepfather's share of the store, founded in the 1890s, and a few years later purchased the building and land from John M. Thomas for $7,000. Thomas had built the two-story brick building in 1887-88, the Montgomery Advertiser reported. It became, of course, the Toomer Building. Photo source: Chrysalis, Auburn University Archives. |
