Auburn Hall is just off campus, now private apartments. At one time -- if memory serves where the Internet is presently failing me -- this was a dorm for the University.

As the floorplan is set, and this I know for certain, they are little more than efficiency apartments, with the added bonus of your access being through long common hallways, much like a hotel.

Several friends lived in Auburn Hall during my time on campus. One resides there as of this writing. I'm familiar with that door. The mailboxes are just inside, just across the street there is new development, having been a convenience store, a video store and a liquor store during my time. I believe a fire prompted the change. The laundromat remains.

If the guy standing here turns to his right he'd face the campus just across College Street. On the far side of the building and behind him would be other small apartment buildings. These days at least. At the time they were probably woods or fields.

The 7:29 caption refers to curfew. The co-eds of the day were on very strict schedules. It was a very different way of life than college kids today enjoy. The man in charge of my scholarship told me once how life had been when he was at Auburn, and it seemed almost unpleasant. He's probably in one of these Gloms somewhere.

And now, more of the A.P.I. ladies.
