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 from the west, shows the back of the house with the large pond used for boating, and the carriage house and stables. The two small buildings closest to the pond were the chicken houses which were converted into the Lewises' pottery studio when they both became interested in ceramics. Other houses are visible east of the Lewis house, and the Woman's Magazine Building is on the right.
