| Date.Digital | 2002-06-28 | | Date.Original | 1909-11-26 | | Description | Edward Gardner Lewis was an inventor, and one of the things he hoped to perfect was a bottle stopper made from paper trimmings from his printing plants. 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). In this photograph, taken at the northeast corner of the building on November 26, 1909, the exterior of the building appears to be complete, although no landscaping has been done. | | Source | Photograph, tear on left side mended on reverse with tape, tape stain on front, small tears lower edge, 9.53" by 7.22" | | Subject | University City (Mo.)--Pictorial Works | | Subject | Helfensteller, Hirsch and Watson (firm) | | Subject | U.
