The Dekalb County courthouse looked fantastic the day I stopped to take its portrait! The flowers were in bloom, despite the drought conditions. And, the courthouse square in Auburn is very pretty. The town, known as the "home of the classics," was the place where the Auburn-Cord-Dusenberg cars were manufactured. These vehicles were spectacular in their day. Now the cars are highly sought after by car enthusiasts. Its easy to see that Auburn was a jumping town in the early 1900's. But, like most car towns in the early 'teens through the 30's, they have embraced their heritage and are moving forward to attract new business to the area. A proud town with a lot of American automobile history and a gorgeous courthouse.
