SUMMARY OF MEETING
ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER
The meeting started at 4:02 pm. Commissioner Richard Meinert, Chair, opened the meeting and
welcomed all of the guests present.
Commissioner Meinert stated that the minutes would not be voted on due to a technical issue.
Mr. Mosley stated that the recorder had stopped working early during the meeting. He
explained that he had transcribed the minutes that were recorded and provided brief notes on the
unrecorded section. He asked members to review the minutes and provide any additional
comments or summary information they felt was important.
Commissioner Meinert stated that they would review the minutes and bring them back for
discussion at the next meeting.
ITEM 2: DISCUSSION OF HISTORIC NON-CONFORMITIES
Mr. Mosley described what non-conformities were and some of the issues with historic districts
and non-conformities.
He noted that many historic structures precede zoning and do not
conform to current setbacks. He stated that staff wanted to make it easier to preserve these
historic properties as they go through changes that would not alter their historic character. He
stated that the language in the non-conformities section would allow certain structures to not
have to go to the Board of Zoning Adjustment if the Historic Preservation Commission approved
the changes.
Commissioner Susie Thomas stated that she thought that was the intent, but did not feel the
language stated this. She wanted to make sure that the non-conforming historic structures still
required a review by the HPC if major changes occurred.
Mr. Mosley stated that some of the language could be “cleaned-up,” but the intent was not to
remove any power from the HPC. He stated that they only wanted to prevent someone from
having to go to the HPC and then go before the BZA for the same issue. Mr. Mosley stated that
Historic Preservation Commission, City of Auburn
Draft Minutes, October 11, 2011
Page 1 of 4
anything that required review by the HPC beforehand would still have to go before the HPC
after this language would be adopted.
Commissioner Thomas stated that she had some concern over reviews being taken out of the
process. She worried about some of the wording causing confusion. She stated that the HPC had
their own non-conformities and did not want to cause any confusion.
Mr. Mosley stated that this section was part of the Zoning Ordinance and was only concerned
with zoning non-conformities. He asked whether the HPC felt the non-conformity allowances
for the historic districts should be allowed for non-contributing structures. He also pointed out
that contributing historic structures would not have to meet the valuation requirements to come
into compliance.
Mr. Mosley stated this would be very beneficial if someone wanted to
rehabilitate older structures that do not meet the current zoning requirements, including the
depot.
The HPC discussed the differences between zoning non-conformities and non-conforming or
non-contributing historic properties.
Commissioner Meinert stated that it might be beneficial to clarify the language at the beginning
of the non-conforming section of the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that everyone understood this
dealt with zoning.
Mr. Mosley also discussed the parking allowance that would let staff reduce the number of
parking spaces necessary for uses in historic buildings.
He stated that this would prevent
someone from being required to have large amounts of parking which could impact the historic
character of a structure if it were not necessary. He noted that any reconfiguration of visible
parking would still be required to come before the HPC.
Mr. Mosley stated that he would work on the language and bring it back to them at a later date.
ITEM 3: PRESENTATION OF COMMERCIAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Mr. Mosley went over the presentation of commercial incentives that the City of Auburn is using
promote redevelopment of commercial businesses and corridors. (See memo and presentation at
the end.)
ITEM 4: OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Mosley stated that some members of the HPC and City Council attended a training
workshop put on by National Parks Service members. He noted that theY spoke about the
importance of the Certified Local Government (CLG) program, public private partnerships and a
few other topics.
Mr. Mosley stated that there was also a training workshop on historic
cemeteries. He noted that the speakers discussed the folklore and art of tombstones, historic
markers and proper maintenance.
Mr. Mosley also stated that the Auburn Heritage Association was awarded a grant from the state
for Pine Hill Cemetery. He stated that he thought the funds would go to repair and upkeep of
the cemetery.
Commissioner Hendrix stated that the grant was for approximately $16,000. He also noted that
Historic Preservation Commission, City of Auburn
Draft Minutes, October 11, 2011
Page 2 of 4
the Lantern Tour brought in additional funds.
Commissioner Pearson noted that Pinetucket Cemetery was also awarded funds in the grant.
She explained that this cemetery was private.
Mr. Mosley stated that Commissioner Pearson had a draft of the proposed marker for the North
College Historic District available.
Commissioner Pearson stated that she had finished a rough draft and that it needed to be looked
over and revised. She noted that the language would need to be approved by the HPC then the
Historic Chattahoochee Commission’s board on marker text. She noted that the marker could
have 640 spaces on each side, including blank spaces. She assumed the HPC would want
different text on each side. Commissioner Pearson stated that an image could be placed on sign
for an additional fee. She stated that she kept it short until she knew the commission’s desire for
the sign. She thought a copy of the map would be interesting on the sign.
Commissioner Thomas suggested that they take the language home and bring back suggestions.
She wondered aloud whether they should talk about the districts place on the National Register.
Commissioner Hendrix stated that there would be another marker at the Halliday-Pick house.
There was discussion about possible locations of the historic marker.
Mr. Mosley stated that staff had worked with the Auburn University Campus Planning to find an
appropriate sign for the Halliday-Cary-Pick house. He noted that staff felt the original sign was
not appropriate since it was modern looking and a monument sign which is not allowed. He
noted that there would be a historic marker, directional signage, and a sign on the iron fence in
the front of the building.
Commissioner Thomas stated that she did not really like the proposed sign on the fence, but
thought it was better than building another sign on the street.
Commissioner Hendrix asked if the sidewalk with the bicycle track was still present.
Mr. Mosley stated he thought it was, but would look into it.
Commissioner Thomas stated that she felt that they had done a good job of historic review and
incentives. She felt that it is important to look at a new historic area. She asked that it be placed
on the agenda.
Mr. Mosley stated he would put the information together from the last time they spoke about the
issue.

NORTH COLLEGE STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT
With the creation by the Auburn City Council on March 2, 1999, of a seven-member Historical
Preservation Commission, the City took its first step in establishing historic districts to preserve its
considerable architectural heritage.
The first work of the Commission was the creation of the North College Historic District, where homes
were built by some of the early settlers. It encompasses thirty-three acres in the northern section of
Auburn, with seventeen contributing structures out of a total of thirty-seven. They range in age from
1848-1937 in a variety of architectural styles, and many were built by professors at the growing college
to the south.
The land on which these buildings stand was originally owned by members of the Creek Nation, such as
Sundilla and Ottes Fixico. The land was ceded to the Federal Government in 1832, before the founding
of Auburn in 1836.
SIDE TWO
The oldest home is Halladay-Cary-Pick (1848), one of the two homes built in Auburn in raised cottage
style. It also features an unusual spiral staircase. Also included in the district is Auburn’s third depot, the
previous two having burned, the first by Rousseau’s Raider’s in 1864. By it, Jefferson Davis, on his way to
his inauguration in Montgomery, first reviewed Confederate troops, The Auburn Guard.
The North College District was approved by City Council on June 21, 1995. The appearance of the
exterior of the structures is overseen by the Historic Preservation Commission. The district is listed on
the National Register of Historic Places.

Proposed Additions and Correction
Intensive Residential and Commercial Survey of Gay-Payne Street
District, Auburn, Alabama, Lee County
Objective: This reconnaissance was conducted in association with the
Alabama Trust Fund Survey and Registration Grant Program sponsored by
the Alabama Historical Commission (AHC). The survey, which was
initiated by the City of Auburn (CoA) , is the first part of a two-part
project taking place within the incorporated limits of Auburn along Gay
and Payne Streets.
The first part of the project includes
identification and documentation of historic resources that are fifty
years or older and significant properties from the recent past located
in Auburn's residential and commercial areas between West Bay and Third
streets and Main and Anniston avenues Col
St. (west), Pinedale Drive
(east), Thach Ave. (nor (11), and Samford hvellue (south).
This
reconnaissance did not include individual properties and historic
districts listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Additionally, the first part of the Auburn study includes the
development of a historical context for neighborhoods and resources not
listed in the NRHP.
The second part of the Auburn study calls for a
NRHP nomination for the most significant resources in the Gay-Payne
District of Auburn.
The two-part study of Auburn is intended to facilitate and expedite
ongoing and future efforts to preserve historic resources in Auburn.
The CoA, local preservation interests, and the AHC have been actively
involved in various preservation projects throughout the 1990s and more
projects are envisioned for the new millennium. However, the CoA, local
interest groups, and the AHC agreed that more efficient means for
achieving desired ends is in order. The aforementioned historical
context and computerized inventory of historic resources generated by
the two part Auburn Study will serve as master templates for future NRHP
nominations. These templates will reduce nomination labor, time, and
costs to a mere fraction compared to starting from scratch every time.
Survey Methodology:
Preservation consultants Gene A. Ford and Linda
Ford with the help of assistant, Thomas Nelson, conducted a pedestrian
reconnaissance of the subject residential and commercial areas.
Identified historic resources were photographed using a 35mm camera and
Tmax 100 black and white film.
Survey forms were prepared for each of
the 182 identified structures. Each resource was assigned a number from
1 to 182. The identification numbers are keyed to survey forms, contact
sheets, a survey report, and tax maps.
Copies of each of these
documents have been prepared for the AHC and CoA.
The pedestrian reconnaissance was conducted in the following manner:
The Consultants decided to survey the district alpha-numerically and
hence selected Pine Hill Cemetery as the starting point for the Auburn
reconnaissance. The Cemetery is the cornerstone of the Gay-Payne Street
survey. Beginning with Pine Hill on Armstrong Street, the team moved
progressively to the western border and began with South College and
forward to Gay Street. Then .the survey team moved to Hare Avenue and
progressed south to Moore and Miller Avenues. The surveyors took in
Nelocco Drive that ran parallel to the streets at the eastern end of the
surveyed area.
Surveyors then moved west to Payne Street. Payne runs
north to south and the surveyors began at the northern end and proceeded
to the southern end. A circuitous Pinedale Drive was circled then moved
to the southern boundary of Samford Avenue and finally to the northern
boundary of Thach Avenue.
Research Methodology:
Gay-Payne District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
The material on the subject of Auburn history was limited since most
texts deal almost exclusively with Auburn University and not the City of
Auburn.
Although some of the University texts deal with the community
development.
Linda Ford searched the University of Alabama Libraries for information
finding several sources on Auburn in the main library, Amelia Gayle
Gorgas Library, and in the Hoole Special Collections Library.
Ford also
consulted the Ralph Brown Draughton Library on the Auburn University
Campus and with the help of Subject Specialist Librarian, Boyd
Childress, searched the libraries and special collections for further
information.
The Auburn University Special Collections had limited, non-historic Polk
City Directories in their collection that were of little help in the
research.
The Heritage of Lee County book found in the Hoole Library
filled in these gaps. Sanborn Fire Insurance maps on file at the
University of Alabama Special Collections yielded information on the
areas development.
Telephone interviews were conducted with architecture professor, David Henson and Emeritus Professor, Gaines Blackwell. These discussions (corrected typo/spelling) gleaned pertinent information on Walter
Burkhardt. The invaluable Bob Gamble book, The Alabama Catalog - A Guide
to the Early Architecture of the State helped reinforce the information
on Burkhardt's preservation contributions to the state of Alabama.
Results:
In all 182, resources were recorded during the fieldwork
portion of this project. The consultants assigned each identified
resource a survey number. The resources are numbered from 1 to 182.
Preservation Consultant, Linda Ford, prepared Alabama Historical
Commission (AHC) survey forms for each identified resource. The AHC
forms record such pertinent resource information as location, historic
name (if known), type, construction materials, condition, style, form,
configuration, roof type, number of stories, porch type, type and number
of outbuildings, setting, date of construction, and NRHP eligibility.
Survey numbers were also assigned to photograph logs and planimetric
maps, 1 in = 200 ft scale. Negatives were developed for each of the 9
rolls of black and white film that were used in the photographic
documentation of the historic buildings. Additionally, the consultants
prepared a collection of color slides of representative building and
structure types. The consultants combined all of the recordation and research to produce the following survey report and survey inventory. The AHC and CoA will each receive a copy of the survey forms, contact sheets, maps, survey report, and survey inventory. Resource Classification and Description: The identified historic
properties represent seventy years of Auburn history, dating from the
1880s and continuing through the late 1940s. The bulk of the resources
reflect important developments that occurred in the early to mid­
twentieth century. The homes indicate early 1920s prosperity and campus
growth at Auburn University; world War II and post war baby-boom
developments.
The identified historic resources represent similar socio-economic
backgrounds. The survey area is an upper middle, middle class
neighborhood. The occupants are and have historically been connected
with employment and enrollment at Auburn University. A fine collection
of bungalows, Tudor and Colonial Revival cottages, and minimal
traditional houses constitutes Auburn's historic middle-class
residential fare.
The identified resources can be grouped into the following fields: Residences, Public Works, Education, and Commerce. Within the Gay-Payne Street District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
residential field there are the following categories: Queen Anne and
Queen Anne Cottage, Neo-Classical Revival, Bungalow, Craftsman, Tudor
Revival, Colonial Revival, Pyramidal Roof Cottage, Minimal Traditional,
Apartment Building, Ranch, and Miscellaneous Cottage. The commercial
buildings found in the survey area include only one story, free standing
buildings.
For the sake of the non-architectural historian and those using
alternate terminology, definition of the resource types is in order.
Queen Anne
Victorian-era architecture, popular in America during the last decades
of the nineteenth century, was loosely derived from medieval models
(McAlester and McAlester 1984). A typical Auburn Queen Anne house
features an irregular shaped roof, often composed of a combination of a
hip roof and several gable roofs, multiple stories, asymmetrical floor
plan, a front-facing bay window, wrap around porch, and decorative
detailing such as patterned shingles, spindlework, and corner brackets.
Victorian residences or houses are distinguished from cottages by having
at least two full stories whereas the cottage has no more than a story
and a half.
The Queen Anne cottage also features a distinctive roof form: a hip roof
with one or more connecting gable roof(s).
Often, the connecting gable
roof(s) create(s) a front and/or side-projecting bay window{s), lending
the dwelling a more fashionable appearance.
In addition to its
picturesque roof form and projecting bays, the Queen Anne cottage
typically features a three bay facade with an entry bay placed in
between a front projecting bay window and another bay. It is often
embellished with shinglework, decorative brackets, spindlework, and/or
other detailing associated with the Victorian era.
The Queen Anne
cottage is considered a modest house built for the middle class.
There is one remaining Victorian-era, Queen Anne horne among the
documented resources, 18, and five Queen Anne cottages including 16, 21,
27, 37, and 135.
Neoclassical Revival
According to A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester and McAlester
1984), Neoclassical Revival architecture represents a liberal borrowing
of Georgian, Adam, Early Classical Revival, and Greek Revival
characteristics.
Salient features of the Neoclassical Revival style
include a colonnaded porch with Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan, or
classical-like columns, symmetric bay arrangement, pediments used as
porch roofs or window and door caps, fanlight transoms, and cornices.
There is one Neoclassical Revival residence in the survey area of
Auburn: 59.
Foursquare
The popularity of the Foursquare house ranged from 1870 to 1940
(Gottfried and Jennings 1988). The basis of this two to two and a half
story house is a block form consisting of two floors with two sets of
two rooms arranged side by side.
This arrangement is commonly referred
to as a Foursquare floor plan.
A hip roof, which mayor may not feature
dormers, caps the structure. Usually, a full-width, one story porch
with a hip, shed, or gable roof shade the front of these houses which
are located in both urban and rural settings nation wide.
Foursquare
houses may lack stylistic embellishment or feature detailing from either
the Italianate or Craftsman styles.
There are two identified Foursquares: 107 and 140.
Gay-Payne Street District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
Craftsman House and Bungalow
The Arts and Crafts movement popularized by William Morris and his
English craftsman associates found its way to America via the
architecture of Charles Sumner Greene, Henry Mather Greene, Bernard
Maybeck, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Following the tenets of the English
aesthetic movement, the Greene brothers, Maybeck, and Wright based their
designs on the dictates of simplicity, use of natural materials, and
exposure of craftsmanship work.
In addition to these architects, Gustav
Stickley's The Craftsman
(1909), women's magazines, and house pattern
books helped popularize Arts and Crafts architecture in America. Arts
and Crafts dwellings feature stone, brick, stucco, or timber
construction, low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters and timberwork, wide
eaves, and a prominent porch supported by posts resting on brick or
stone piers (McAlester and McAlester 1984). Arts and Crafts houses can
be divided into two categories: Craftsman houses which feature two or
more stories and Craftsman bungalows that feature one to one and a half
stories.
Bungalows and Craftsman homes constitute 24 of the inventoried
properties. They are as follows:
4, 12, 13, 20, 33, 35, 41, 68, 69, 73,
78, 82, 83, 87, 88, 110, 136, 141, 149, 150, 171, 172, 179, and 180.
Resources 149 and 150 are fine examples of bungalows in the Gay-Payne
District. Resource 149 is a wood frame bungalow with hip roof and end,
brick chimney. The home is articulated with Craftsman windows, entryway
with segmented arch with wood supports on brick piers, and a brick
foundation with ornamental stone geometric patters. Resource 150 is a
wood frame bungalow as well. This residence has a front gable roof with
cornice returns and stickwork in the gables.
It is articulated with
Craftsman windows, and louvered ventilators.
Tudor Revival
Tudor Revival architecture derives from late Medieval English cottages
and manor houses (McAlester and McAlester 1984). Tudor Revival
characteristics include multi-gable roofs which are often steeply
pitched, end porches, arch spans above doors windows, porch supports,
and interior passage ways, an entry vestibule, and faux half-timbering.
Tudor Revival architecture came into vogue in the late nineteenth
century and continued to be popular into the mid 1930s.
Tudor Revival
mansions and cottages, which share the same distinction as Victorian and
Craftsman houses and cottages, were popular during the 1920s and on into
the 1930s.
Tudor Revival cottages total 18 in all: 24, 38, 40, 71, 77, 84, 89, 91,
95, 99, lOS, 111, 121, 126, 144, 152, 173, 176, and one Neo-Tudor
Revival:
100.
Resource 91 at 301 Payne Street is a fine example of a Tudor Revival
cottage. The one story, brick Tudor Revival has the definitive cross
gable roof of asphalt shingles, stickwork, exterior brick chimney, an
arched, wood panel door, a covered vestibule, and segmented arches with
keystones highlight the now enclosed porch. The 4/1 double hung sash
windows are accentuated with soldier courses and brick lintels.
Colonial Revival
A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester ~np McAlester 1984)
describes Colonial Revival architecture as an eclectic twentieth century
Gay-Payne Street District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
style. Colonial Revival architecture liberally borrowed elements from
seventeenth century Dutch and English Colonial buildings.
Consequently,
Colonial Revival houses may feature such elements as gambrel and side
gable roofs with dormers, second story overhangs, Georgian door
surrounds, and in some instances, classical porticos. There are two
generally recognized Colonial Revival time frames.
The first roughly
dates from the early 1900s to WWIIi the second began after WWII and
continues on to the present.
Thirty-two Colonial Revival residences are counted among the resource
total. They are in order: 3, 5, 11, 14, 19, 26, 29, 32, 39, 63, 65,
67, 93, 94, 101, 103, 106, 112, 119, 120, 123, 127, 130, 138, 153, 158,
159, 165, 168, 175, 181, and 182.
Resource 112 is a classic one and a half story, brick Colonial Revival
with a side gable roof with three gabled dormers with double hung sash
windows and two brick chimneys. Both resources 119 and 120 include off
center wood panel doors with pediments and flanking pilasters along with
dormers that have double hung sash windows.
pyramidal Roof Form
While pyramidal roof houses are a very common manufactured form, they
actually have their origin in the pre-manufacturing era.
In Alabama
Folk Houses (1975) Eugene M. Wilson states that the pyramidal roof house
was introduced to Alabama in the mid nineteenth century.
By the later
quarter of the nineteenth century this form became a staple of both
industrial and agricultural housing. Quite prevalent in Birmingham
industrial company towns (White 1981), the walls and floor plan of a
pyramidal roof house form a square or rectangular block.
Covering this
block is a steeply-pitched hip roof, resembling a pyramid.
pyramidal
roof cottages are typically one to one-and-a-half stories in height.
The two identified in the survey are two story residences.
They were
classified as pyramidals by default: they did not have any other
characteristics to place them in another category.
There is one pyramidal roof cottage: 137.
Minimal Traditional
Built in great numbers immediately after World War II, Minimal
Traditional domiciles often dominated large housing tracts.
Crowned by
low-pitched side gable or cross gable roofs, the minimal Traditional is
essentially a massed plan cottage with residual Colonial or Tudor
Revival details.
Fifty-two minimal traditionals constitute the largest number of house

Ranch The Ranch has its roots in Colonial antecedents. The architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright is also in the mix. The ranch features a low-pitched roof with broad eaves and a streamlined mein. Most ranches are given to rambling, open floor plans reminiscent of Wright's residential designs. Literally built in the hundreds of millions, the ranch is probably the most ubiquitous house type in American Construction of the ranch in large numbers began in the decade following World War II and has continued to the present. The survey pool includes five Ranch dwellings: 48, 62, 85, 125, and 177. Apartment Building There are several apartment buildings in the survey: 8, 9, 15, 17, 23, 28, 30, 31, 72, 139 and 179. Resource 72 is an historic Ca. 1945 apartment building. Garage apartments proliferate in Auburn due to the housing needs of students at Auburn University over the years. The following garage apartments stand alone and no longer are attached to a home. There are four of them: 15, 34, 43, and 174. Several others exist in conjunction with existent residences in the neighborhood. Duplexes Duplexes are constructed as multiple family dwellings. The duplexes located within the Gay Payne Street area are one story dwellings with a side or cross gable roof of asphalt shingles. The houses are constructed of brick and wood framing.
Some of these duplexes sport Colonial Revival details such as Resource 11. There are seven duplexes in the area including:
11, 49, 51, 54, 86, 90, 143, and 178. Commercial Building The identified mercantile edifices are classified as free standing commercial buildings. Free standing commercial buildings exist separate from adjacent buildings whereas commercial blocks often share common walls with adjacent edifices.
Free standing mercantile houses feature brick, concrete or stone construction with a flat roof and have a storefront. This single story edifice typically has an entry door, transom, and flanking display windows. The commercial buildings within the survey area number two: 131 and 133. There is one educational building that is Resource 147, Auburn Junior High School. One cemetery exists in the area:
One water tower, Resource 2. Pine Hill Cemetery, Resource 1. Historical Context
Although a cemetery is usually designated as a place where lives end,
Pine Hill Cemetery marks the beginning of the survey and close to the
birth of the City of Auburn.
It is the oldest cemetery in Auburn that
was begun in 1837 by Judge John J. Harper who was the founding farther
of the city (Grimm, 2002). Auburn was incorporated in 1836.
"If I had to pick the most historic site or structure in Auburn, I'd have to pick this (speaking of Pine Hill) ," said Ann Pearson of the Gay-Payne Street District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
Auburn Heritage Association (AHA), "It has blacks, whites, presidents,
slaves, merchants and mayors" (Grimm, 2002).
Gregg Sullers, Greg
Sellers also of the AHA, states, "Pine Hill's age is what makes it
important. While it's like any other old cemetery, there are very
interesting aspects.
People that make up the history of Auburn are
buried here" (Grimm, 2002).
Over 1,000 marked graves and many other unmarked graves exist in the
cemetery of approximately 6.2 acres.
Ninety-eight of these graves
belong to confederate dead from Texas.
The soldiers were hospitalized
in Samford Hall Old [Vlain (Samford not bui 1 t unt.i 1 1887) at Auburn
University where they died during the Civil War "\r.Jar Betweel1 the States"
(Grimm, 2002).
The Memorial Association Ladi es JYJemorial Assoc. of
Auburn erected a monument at the eastern end of Pine Hill on April 26,
1893 honoring the Confederate soldiers buried there (Hollifield, 1955).
The unmarked graves of African-American slaves are at the north end of
Pine Hill. One marked grave for African-American Gatsy Rice who was a
seamstress in the 1800s (Grimm, 2002) in included in the Pine Hill
plots.
After use for over one hundred years, Pine Hill Cemetery had become
neglected. In the 1940s a group of distressed citizens organized. to
revitalize the cemetery. Graves and headstones were refurbished with
hedges planted and roads added to the cemetery. Today a perimeter fence
helps maintain the historic graves of Auburn.
Judge Harper was a Georgia native and is credited as being the founder
of the city of Auburn.
From the beginning Harper "envisioned Auburn as
a center of religion, education, and culture" (Edwards, 1958). The
first school was built in 1838 on the lot across Gay Street from the
post office (Edwards, 1958).
Boarding school students came to Auburn
for school from Lee and surrounding counties.
By 1856 Auburn had two
schools, The Auburn Masonic Female College and the William F. Slaton's
Male Academy (Edwards, 1958).
The colleges drew families who were interested in the benefits of a
college town could offer. Wilbur Fisk Glenn, an alumnus of 1860 East
Alabama Male College stated that Auburn had "many cultured people of the
weal thy and well-to-do-class who made Auburn their home...Some of them for
this reason lived there (Auburn) although they were doing business in
larger centers or farming in the country (Auburn Alumni Quarterly,
1912). Auburn was a railroad town (after 1848 not from beginning)
surrounded by farmland.
The railway stretched from Atlanta to
Montgomery down to Pensacola. The line was one of only three railroad
lines in Alabama at the time (Edwards, 1958). Transportation coupled
with the male population at the school made Auburn a focus of East
Alabama during the Civil War.
During the Civil War both colleges virtually shut down.
Union forces
raided the City of Auburn twice during the conflict. College buildings
were converted into hospitals and citizens served as soldiers or
physicians and nurses. When the war was over the male institution
hesitantly opened its doors and the female academy was never reinstated.
In the surveyed area little of the architecture is left from the early
days of Auburn other than the Pine Hill Cemetery. There are several
Victorian era cottages that would date from the late nineteenth century.
These cottages are on South College Street, Samford Street and one is
located at 358 Gay Street (Resource 37) which is an one story, wood
frame Queen Anne cottage with a hip and cross gables roof.
The
residence still retains its full width porch with hip roof and wood open
rail balustrade with wood posts and decorative brackets.
Gay-Payne Street District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
James Whatley, treasurer of the AHA, was quoted in the Auburn Plainsman
to say, "the sides of Gay Street used to be completely lined with
Victorian homes u (Grimm, 2002). These would probably have housed some
of the aforementioned wealthy families who moved to Auburn for the
amenities. One such family was the Glenns.
In the 1870s-80s Emory
Thomas Glenn was treasurer to the land grant col
,Agricultural and
Mechanical Col
of Alabama (Auburn University) (Heritage of Lee
County, 2000). By 1884 the Glenn family had outgrown their residence
(the present day Woman's Club of Auburn) and moved into a home of Gay
Street (Heritage of Lee County, 2000). The neighborhoods along Gay and
Payne Streets were in close proximity to the school making it a
convenient location for school employees to reside.
"The central object, indeed the heart of Auburn, is the college,U
published W. D. McIver in the Montgomery Advertiser on March 2, 1902.
McIver went on to say, "The College is in fact Auburn and the town being
an aggregation of residences and business houses connected more or less
wi th the life of the college... There are no manufacturing interests, no
saloons, no places of outside attraction-the life is entirely
collegiate" (McIver, 1902). The City of Auburn was more of a village with
a population of 1,447 in 1900. The 1907 census shows that Opelika had
5,000 people and Auburn was still well below 2,000 at the same time
(Hearn, 1907).
Corresponding to these small numbers, there was a single city school,
Auburn Public School, Lee County
School built on 1and donated by
Judge Harper in 1837 at the corner of Gay Street and Tichenor Avenue at
the turn of the century. The school contained grades one through eleven
in a wood frame building that was destroyed in 1930 and replaced with a
post office (Heritage, 2000). Sanborn maps depict other important
buildings along Gay Street at the beginning of the twentieth century
including the Auburn Public School, the Pi Kappa Alpha Charter House,
the Sigma Nu Fraternity Hall, two other unidentified Fraternity Halls,
the M.E. Church South, and Hamill Memorial Sunday School Building.
(The
Church stood there in 1909 but the Hamill Memorial Sunday School
Building does not appear until the 1919 map) .
Wittel Dormitory (Resource 19) was built on South Gay in the early 1900s
as well.
Named for its builder, Samuel S. Wittel, the building was used
as a residence by three generations of Wittels and as a professional
women's dormitory. It did not become an official dorm until after World
War II when enrollment at Auburn University soared. At that time Wittel
became Auburn's first women's dormitory (Heritage of Lee County, 2000).
The brick, Colonial Revival building has an interior that includes
hardwood floors, silver leafed ceiling in the foyer and the city'S first
elevator (Heritage of Lee County, 2000).
The Heritage of Lee County includes historical information from several
sources and reports that the city received electricity in the
residential area and Smith Hall in 1908. A telephone switchboard
appeared in the early 1900s at 120 North Col
in the Lipscomb
Building. Natural gas was not installed in the City of Auburn until
1930.
Growth did not come to Auburn until population numbers increased with
enrollment at Auburn University and World War I.
"Thus over a period of
sixty years the college grew slowly, but constantly and soundly, with
only gradual change in faculty and in the life of the cityU (Edwards,
1958) .
Craftsman homes sprang up in the Gay-Payne Street survey area ca. 1915.
This was the time of World War I and many Auburn students enlisted in
the war effort. Younger boys enlisted in the local Student Army
Gay-Payne Street District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
Tralnlng Corps. The City of Auburn became a headquarters for
during the war with a group of regular troops stationed in Auburn in
1918 (Heritage of Lee County, 2000).
By 1920 the population of Auburn had reached 2,143. The 1928 Sanborn
maps show homes lining both sides of South and North Gay Street.
Although an infamous date for misfortune, 1929 was a date of promise for
Auburn University, for architecture, preservation and city planning in
the state of Alabama. That was the year that Erdman Walter Burkhardt
(1894-1977)
a job at the university. Walter Burkhardt was a
German native who moved to the United States as a child. He received a
B.A. in architecture from washington State College (WSU), and Masters of
Science in Architecture from Columbia University. During World War I
Burkhardt served as naval architect for the Puget Sound Naval Yard
(Heritage of Lee County, 2000). After marrying his wife, Varian
Carpenter Burkhardt (1894-1984), Burkhardt worked for architectural
firms in New York City and Florida.
Need to identify Burkhardt's buildings and his house on the numbered
list.
Burkhardt became a Professor of Architecture at Auburn in 1929 and began
his pioneering work in the state.
From 1933-1937 Burkhardt directed the
Historic American Building Survey (Gamble, 1987) and then served as Gulf
States Directors of the American Institute of Architects for the
Preservation of Historic American Buildings. The Alabama State
Legislature adopted the state's first enabling act in city zoning in
1935 primarily because of Burkhart's work (Heritage of Lee County,
2000). A decade of progress continued as Burkhardt was appointed as one
of only three southern architects to represent the United States in
Paris at the International Congress of Architecture in 1937 (Heritage of
Lee County, 2000).
In the City of Auburn Burkhardt made a difference by serving on the City
Planning Commission for twenty-three years after helping form the board
(Heritage of Lee County, 2000). Over the years Burkhardt chaired zoning
boards in Auburn, published 58 articles ointly with wife Varian in the
Birmingham News Sunday Magazine on
lum architecture in Alabama
(Gamble, 1987. The articles were late republished in book form.
This body of work was released as Alabama Ante-Bellum Architecture: A Scrapbook View from the 1930s in 1976 with the help of the Alabama Historical Commission (Gamble, 1987). Burkhardt also designed many local bui
including Auburn
presbyterian Church, St. Michael's Catholic Church, the Auburn Airport
Building, Bibb Graves Center and amphitheater, Omega Tau Sigma and Sigma
pi fraternity houses, Frederick's Funeral Home and several residences
and commercial buildings in Auburn, Opelika and Alexander City are in
his oeuvre (
of Lee County, 2000).
According the Gaines Blackwell, Emeritus Professor of Architecture at
Auburn University, Burkhardt designed between 15-18 residences in Auburn
including his own home and several others on Payne Street (Blackwell,
2003) .
A 1937 state highway map indicates that a paved Highway 29 linked Auburn
to Tuskegee and Opelika. Hence Auburn was linked by a modern roadway to
similar cities in the east of the state of Alabama. These roads made the
City of Auburn and more importantly, Auburn University, accessible to
the remainder of the state. The cities' population rose to 2,800 in 1930
and was doubled to 4,652 by 1940.
The area surveyed around Gay and Payne Streets burgeoned with thirties
Tudor Revivals, massed plan cottages and forties minimal traditionals
and Colonial Revival homes. One example of these homes is 226 Payne
Gay-Payne Street District Survey Report, Auburn, Alabama
Street, Resource 75, a minimal traditional that was occupied by the
Dennis
from 1939-1996. Dr. Dennis was the first full time head
of Student Health Services at Auburn University (Dennis, 2000).
At the outset the family rented the home for $55.00 per month. After
World War II when the family decided to purchase the home, the monthly
payments were $34.00 for the two-bedroom residence. A living room with
a fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen, bathroom, a Florida room and
basement completed the minimal traditional with a one car garage at the
back of the lot (Dennis, 2000). Before the war a finished basement
contained an extra bedroom and bath that was rented to male college
students. After the war the sons of the family used the rooms in the
basement. Both sons attended Auburn University and the basement
apartment housed them and their young families while they finished
school. The Gordon Bush and Bennett families were neighbors on Payne
Street (Dennis, 2000).
Mary Wilkie and Grady Loftin and their three daughters lived at 573 Gay
Street. Mr. Loftin opened the 5&10 Store on Magnolia Avenue in 1941 (Heritage of Lee County, 2000). The family built the house in the early forties before the war. Although the home is not within the surveyed area, the information indicates when and who would have occupied the homes in the survey area. Not in lhi s districts.
Need Lo ment.ion oLhers of interest.
See additional info sheet. Worthy of consideration are the number of garage apartments associated with the Gay-Payne Street survey area. Note that Resources 34, 35, 37, and 38, as well as others, have garage apartments. These buildings were essential housing for Auburn University students after World War II. "Life
featured Auburn war surplus deckhouses to show how colleges were coping with the shortage of living quarters" (AU photographic services). These tugboat deckhouses measured a mere 17 feet long X 7 feet wide making the garage apartments on Gay Street appear spacious.
Not in this districts.
,".lso,need to mention PO\f.] Barracks.
See additional info sheet. The architecture contained in the survey area is enlightening. At first glance it may seem much the
, residences that are common for the mid-twentieth century: bungalows, Tudor Revivals, and minimal traditionals. These buildings are not even the first generation of Auburn architecture since the city is old by our standards. Yet the residences allow us to look at an area of history that has been until now. They ident
a time of growth,
, and explosive growth in American history.
As a microcosm the neighborhood demonstrates the growth of an Alabama state school, Auburn University, and this can be expanded to see the growth of a community dependent on the University. Bibliography

Recommendations for a National Register of Historic places District:
The
Payne Street District is important owing to such occupants as
Walter Burkhardt, who was invaluable in establishing standards for
preservation in the state of Alabama. Gay-Payne Street also contains
early-mid twentieth century buildings that are intact examples of
residential types of the period.
With Walter Burkhardt as a motivator
to begin saving mid-twentieth century buildings, we recommend the Gay-
Payne Street District for listing
district.
