| 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 126: The two 200-foot towers of Radio Station WAPI stood in 1928 in an area south of what is now the Samford Avenue-Donahue Drive intersection. Leonard B. Thomas, a student, climbed one of the towers to take [this composite image.] In [these pictures], the photographer aimed his camera to the east, down what is now Samford Avenue, and then to the southeast, catching part of the second radio tower in his second shot. The barn at center left stood in what became the front yard of the President's Mansion when it was built in 1938. The prized bull was housed nearby. The water tank behind the barn was off South Gay Street. The narrow road at bottom left was an extension of Samford. Photo source: Leonard W. Thomas and H. C. Morgan, Jr.
