For several years his Development and Investment Company worked in a building in St. Louis City. In 1909, Lewis hired architects Helfensteller, Hirsch and Watson, to design a new building to be built in University City. It was built on 2.5 acres north of the Art Academy, next to the Creve Coeur Streetcar tracks (now Kingsland and Vernon Avenues). The new building cost $57,000. In this photograph, taken on August 26, 1909, the exterior walls are complete | | Source | Photograph, lower right edge torn, crease right side, upper right corner torn, 9.62" by 7.04" | | Subject | University City (Mo.)--Pictorial Works | | Subject | Helfensteller, Hirsch and Watson (firm) | | Subject | U.
