The building was constructed as headquarters for the Lewis Publishing Company in 1903 and early 1904.The buildings of the St. Louis World's Fair are visible in the distance on the right, and this group may have been Fair visitors invited to visit Edward Gardner Lewis' new building. The Epworth Hotel is visible in the center, though part of it is blocked by a new building under construction.
