| This was one of the noncontiguous farms at the South Union Colony. It had two names over its history. One was Black Lick Farm and the other was The Sugar Maple Farm. The back portion of the house is thought to have been built in 1813 by the Shakers. John Viers purchased the farm from the Shakers in 1838 and built on to the original structure for a more gracious house. He then divided up much of the property for the town of Auburn. Historically this is the most singularly important structure within the town limits of Auburn, and it ranks equally in importance to the splendid Federal style buildings at the main Shaker Colony at South Union. Mr and Mrs. Curry Churchill Hall are credited for adding the present two-story front piazza, thus giving the structure the appearance of a Greek revival/neoclassical mansion, and they are the owners who made the greatest contribution to its preservation. Mrs. Hall was the founder of what is now the Shaker Museum at South Union, her original museum having been in Auburn. The Hall property on Viers Street is now owned by Kyle and Stacy Hines. |

| 123 Pearl St, the Adolphous Johnston House was built about 1918-1920. This house is said to be Auburn's most elaborate Craftsman/Bungalow. Adolphous "Doc" Johnston was part owner of A. H. Aull Drug Store; later, Johnston's daughter Mearl married Roger Clark who would later own the Aull & Co. Drug Store. The Clarks lived here until death; the small house at the back of the property was built for Rowena Clark, daughter of Mearle and Roger Clark. |

| This is known as the Claude and Ruth Peart House and is located at 421 W. Main St. Built in 1938, it is the ever popular Greek Revival/neoclassical style and quintessentially southern in character. The handsome two story piazza has lovely true Corinthian capped columns. Note the rare hairpin cast iron fence that frames the property. This was part of the original R. G. Wilson farm that was subdivided along Lincoln Ave. It is another one of Auburn's beautiful and significant homes. |

| This is the grave site of G. W. Davidson and family. Davidson had only one daughter and she died at an early age. Davidson's tribute to his daughter was the most elaborate monument in the Auburn Cemetery. One rumor has it that the scuoptured piece had been carved in Italy and shipped from there. |
