Fall 2019 Special Interest Groups: Reading (full) Wednesday, 8:30 am at Sunny Slope Knitting Wednesday, 10:15 am at Sunny Slope Painting Friday, 10:00 am at Sunny Slope 3 Greetings from University Outreach It’s always an exciting time in Auburn with the return of students in the Fall – and that includes OLLI! You are all a special part of Auburn’s student body, one dedicated to learning for a lifetime. And as members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Auburn, you are also representatives of one of the university’s longest standing, and most successful outreach programs. For three decades, OLLI has been a cornerstone of Auburn University’s Outreach mission in serving those beyond campus. I am very proud to be associated with this extraordinary program as part of our Outreach division, and appreciate the dedication of the members, Advisory Board, and OLLI staff. This year, we have seen much progress in membership growth, program development, and improvement to the beautiful Sunny Slope campus. I am especially excited about OLLI’s 30th academic year. The upcoming semester focuses on Alabama’s bicentennial with a wonderful series of lectures, and throughout the year OLLI will offer new courses and special events – and an anniversary celebration that I know you all will enjoy. Set as we are in the triangle of the Jules Collins Smith Museum and new Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center, OLLI is truly at the heart of Auburn University’s arts and cultural corridor. More importantly, OLLI is the center of learning for people all across the fastest growing geographic area of our state. OLLI offers opportunities to learn with some of America’s leading scholars, and the finest of Auburn’s academic, research, and outreach faculty. OLLI at Auburn fosters a vibrant lifelong learning experience, but I think its greatest benefit is this wonderful fellowship of learners as part of the greater Auburn Family. Enjoy the upcoming year with your fellows in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Auburn University. I wish you the best in all your learning pursuits. War Eagle! Royrickers Cook, PhD Vice President for University Outreach and Associate Provost Greetings from the Director It is going to be an exciting year. A couple of highlights: This fall term we are going to present a Bicentennial Brown Bag Series – seven speakers will be presenting talks about the people, places, and stories of Alabama.

  • Chapter 9: Historic Preservation
    CHAPTER 9: HISTORIC PRESERVATION 9.1 Auburn Historic Preservation Commission he City of Auburn has a rich and diverse history. Organized efforts to preserve locally significant historic and cultural resources allow the City to recognize and protect its past, while T simultaneously planning for future development and growth. Preservation planning, or a lack thereof, can have a significant impact not only on aesthetic appearance, but on the unique sense of place created by a community. The Auburn Historic Preservation Commission (AHPC), the City’s governing body concerning issues of preservation, was created on March 2, 1999 with the passage of Ordinance 1818 by City Council. The Commission is comprised of seven members, and is intended to meet several essential needs. For the community, it assures that Auburn’s historic resources are maintained in a manner appropriate to the City’s heritage. For property owners, residents and contractors, it provides primary guidance in the planning and design of projects that are sympathetic to the special character of the historic district; and that will, in turn, assure that property values are maintained and enhanced. 9.2 North College Historic District On June 21, 2005 the City Council passed Ordinance 2302, which gave the AHPC the task of recommending designation of historic districts and properties in the city. These recommendations are presented to the Council, which then reviews them for final action. The City’s first locally designated district, the North College Historic District, contains 37 parcels north of downtown Auburn and was officially designated by Ordinance 2377 on March 21, 2006. All of the properties in the North College Historic District lie within the boundaries of the Old Main and Church Street District, a National Register of His toric Places District designated in 1978.

  • CJL L "1 Fr\. UDU L"
    CJL L "1 fr\. U D U l"'l \I OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE AT AUBURN UNIVERSITY Sunny Slope Update Written by Bill Brown, OLLI Member Sunny Slope, an historic plantation home on South College that once faced the prospect of demolition, has a new purpose, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Auburn University has a new home. That happy circumstance can be credited largely to Ann B. Pearson, who bought and restored the home and made it available to the university. Parts of the house dates back to 1857. In one sense, Sunny Slope has come full circle. While owner William Flewellyn Samford pursued his political interests, his wife, Susan Dowdell Samford, conducted a school for girls at the home. Now it is home. to an organization providing learning opportunities for older adults. Built in 1857, Sunny Slope was located on a 2,500-acre plantation. It is a single story Greek Revival raised cottage originally consisting of only four rooms, modest in comparison to the grand antebellum mansions across the South. It sits well back from the road at 1031 South College Street, just south of the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. It was the childhood home of Gov. James Samford, for whom Samford Hall at Auburn University is named. The elder Samford was a newspaper editor, Methodist minister, teacher and politician. He was an ardent supporter of secession, and the 14th and 18th Regiments of Alabama Volunteers were formed at the home. The plantation was used as a camping ground for Confederate troops in 1861.
