Samford Hall, Historic administrative building at Auburn University, Alabama.

Samford Hall is a red brick building on the Auburn University campus, constructed in 1888 on the site of the former Old Main. Its design mirrors Old Main but has two main entrances and a taller clock tower. The building houses the university's administration, accounting, planning, and public relations offices.

The building was constructed in 1888 as a replacement for an earlier administrative structure that had been destroyed by fire the previous year. Workers incorporated salvaged materials from the destroyed building into the construction of this new facility.

The carillon in Samford Hall's clock tower plays the Westminster Chimes every quarter-hour and the Auburn fight song, "War Eagle", a few seconds after noon. The tower is the most recognized part of the building, and its bells mark campus time.

The building is visible from many points across campus and serves as a natural landmark for navigation. The tower is the most commonly referenced feature when people give directions to other parts of the university grounds.

The original clockworks were manufactured by the Seth Thomas Clock Company in 1889 and functioned reliably for more than a century before being replaced by electronic systems in 1995. This extended service life reflects the quality craftsmanship typical of that manufacturing era.
