Auburn is well known as a college town and as a historic Southern village in central Alabama. The architecture that presently constitutes Auburn's built environment deserves the same level of recognition. From structures on the campus of Auburn University to historic churches and other buildings across the town, Auburn's architectural record is worth celebrating and protecting. In No Place Like Home: An Architectural Study of Auburn, Alabama—a companion volume to Lost Auburn: A Village Remembered in Period Photographs—co-authors Delos Hughes, Ralph Draughon Jr., Emily Sparrow, and Ann Pearson highlight the buildings of Auburn that are distinguished by age, celebrated residents, distinctive design, and historical importance. The architectural character of Old Auburn lives on in the enduring structures found throughout the city. Anchored by a strong sense of place, No Place Like Home will inspire readers to a greater appreciation of the shared past that connects us all through historic homes and meeting places.

In 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal launched the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Subsistence Homesteads Division to help bring economic relief to families and communities devastated by the Great Depression. With the creation of these new programs came a need for the infrastructure that could support them, and for this, the Roosevelt administration turned to William Macy Stanton. Born to a Quaker family in Ohio in 1888, Stanton worked as an instructor of drawing and design at the University of Illinois School of Architecture before establishing an independent practice in Philadelphia in the early 1920s. During the Depression, he worked on architectural projects in Tennessee for the TVA—including the town of Norris, where the builders of Norris Dam would live. As the New Deal era dawned, Stanton moved to Crossville to design the proposed Cumberland Homesteads. In addition to this work, Stanton is widely regarded for his hotel designs, including The Lafayette and James Madison Hotels in Atlantic City, as well as his restoration of Quaker meetinghouses. In this new biography, Delos D. Hughes weaves the story of Stanton's life and career together with the broader historical context of the Great Depression and New Deal initiatives. The book is divided into three parts, exploring Stanton's life and work before, during, and after his involvement with the Cumberland Homesteads; Hughes examines the intersection of architecture and social policy throughout. Rich with historical photographs, Stanton's own architectural drawings, and other original imagery on nearly every page, Hughes's work will delight architectural history enthusiasts and Tennessee history scholars.
