Description	This sketch of the University City Plaza as envisioned by Edward Gardner Lewis may have been drawn by Lewis Publishing Company artist George Blake. It shows the Woman's Magazine Building and the conservatory of the Press Annex on the right. The Egyptian building that was planned for the People's United States Bank is on the left, although the building as it was constructed had less exterior decoration, the obelisks were never added and there was no streetcar entry beneath the building. By the time this building was constructed, the bank had been closed, and it became the Woman's National Daily Building. The Lion Gates were constructed farther west. This was probably drawn about 1905.
