| Description | The 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 turned the hilly, swampy yard into a lovely garden with ornamental bridges and decorative seating areas. The southwest corner of the Lewises' house and the circular driveway also appear in this photograph taken about 1910. The Italian Renaissance Revival mansion that belonged to Jackson Johnson appears at the top of the hill. |
