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, the left half of a panorama view of University Heights #1, was taken from the west and shows the back of the house with the pond 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. Several other houses have been built east of the Lewis house.
