DescriptionThe Lewises' house was the first house built in University Heights #1. When the subdivision was being laid out, Lewis reportedly purchased the least desirable piece of property in order to show what could be done. He and his wife, Mabel, built this 15 room Tudor style house. This photograph was taken looking south toward Delmar Boulevard. The Jackson Johnson house, on the south side of Delmar Boulevard, is visible in the distance.
