DeKalb County's Seat Since 1837
Auburn was platted in 1836 by Wesley Park and became the DeKalb County seat the following year, decades before it became known for the Auburn Automobile Company, whose Model J and SJ Duesenbergs -- built after the company acquired Duesenberg Motors of Indianapolis in 1926 -- remain some of the most valuable American cars ever produced.
Basement Conditions in an Older County Seat
A county seat platted in the 1830s and built up through a major manufacturing boom in the early 1900s carries a wide range of basement and foundation construction standards, all sitting on the clay-heavy glacial soils typical of northeastern Indiana. Older Auburn basements, particularly those tied to the automaker's peak employment years, can show drainage and grading choices that predate modern waterproofing standards.
