| 408 Maple Street, known as the William Burr House, built in the late 1890's in a style now called picturesque. This designation is advanced when a building contains a number of diverse architectural elements. With all the elaborate wood work on the facade the "Stick Style", a popular turn of century building feature projects the building's strongest view. The large recessed piazzas provided protection from the elements. The second floor piazza may have been used for sleeping although it would have been a bit noisy as the structure faced the then busy railroad tracks. Impressive houses in small towns often faced the then popular railroad. This is an impressive Auburn house complete with near period dependencies. |

| 166 N. Lincoln Street, the Glenn Tinsley House. An ubiquitous 1920 Craftsman Bungalow. This style of architecture has become known as the all-American house. Quintessentially more Americans of the craftsman period lived in these type homes across the nathan than any other style of modern house. This handsome one-and-a-half story was built by Dr. J. R. Simpson, an Auburn physician at the time. An interesting feature about the property is the barn. Auburn has many such craftsman bungalows; the largest built in Auburn was 123 Pearl Street for Adolphus Johnston. |

| 414 Maple Street, the Eloise Hadden Home, built sometime in second half of the 1800's. This picture offers an unusual profile of the two story piazza and primary structure with extending ell behind. The center entrance leads the central hall with proud and generous rooms on either side. The colonnaded piazza is a much later addition and draws the building into the romantic southern tradition. Reputedly this house retains much of its original and well tended interiors. |

| 163 North Lincoln Street, most likely built in the last quarter of the 19th century. The handsome, two storied piazza may have been a later addition as the homeowners' fortune climbed. A nice feature of this house is that its entrance is to the side which allows for a more gracious first floor parlor. Presently the house is known by the designation of the Corum House. It appears there is no vinyl siding to obscure the original clapboards, and that gives its historical designation more validity. |
