Notes
  • Significance: Langdon Hall was constructed in 1846 for use as a chapel and concert hall for the Masonic Female College in Auburn, Alabama. Originally constructed of wood in the Italianate style, the building featured a gable roof with a large, square bell tower mounted on the front pediment. In 1883, the building was moved to the campus of the Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College (later renamed the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and, finally, Auburn University) for use as an auditorium and classroom. Renamed Langdon Hall, in honor of Charles Langdon, the former United States Secretary of State and then trust of the the Agricultural and Mechanical College, the building was remodeled in 1892 in the Greek Revival style. Based on plans drawn by W.P. Wood, an 1881 alumnus, the building was encased in brick, the steeple was removed, a columned temple front was added and the windows made slightly narrower. In 1921, new doors were installed on the front facade of the building. Two years later, in 1923, the first floor was remodeled for use as a Y.M.C.A. assembly hall. Between 1933 and 1951, the interior of the building was remodeled at least seven times.
