Description | This drawing by Lewis Publishing Company artist George Blake is an idealized view of Camp Lewis and was used by Edward Gardner Lewis in promoting his tent city. Camp Lewis was built on property in University Heights #1. The Woman's Magazine Building and Press Annex do appear, as does the Epworth Hotel (renamed the Park Hotel after the Fair). But the temporary and more unsavory establishments on the south side of Delmar have been omitted. The layout of Camp Lewis appears reversed. The dining tent and other community facilities were actually on the north side, rather than on the south side as they appear here. |
