Date.Digital | 2002-06-24 | Date.Original | 1906-1909 | 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 and his wife, Mabel, built this 15 room Tudor style house. This photograph, taken looking north, shows the garden with its small pond and ornamental bridge, and the pergola. The stables, the chicken house and the large lake are beyond the garden. | Source | Photograph, laminated, lower left corner folded under laminate, damage upper left and right corners, 9.42" by 7.57" | Subject | University City (Mo.)--Pictorial Works | Subject | University Heights #1 Subdivision (University City, Mo.) | Subject.Keyword | Houses--Missouri--University City | Title | Lewis house at #2 Yale Avenue - View 5 |
