He designed the building using a mix of styles. In this photograph taken in the fall of 1903, the exterior walls for the headquarters building, known more familiarly as the Woman's Magazine Building, are complete up to the fourth floor. The first floor is constructed of stone and upper stories of brickwork decorated with spiraling garlands and classic egg and dart moldings. The Press Annex, also under construction, is on the left. | Source | Photograph, very dark, damage right side, 8.07" by 6.22" | Subject | University City (Mo.)--Pictorial Works | Subject | Chivers, Herbert Caleb, 1870- | Subject | Woman's Magazine Building-Press Annex (University City, Mo.) | Subject | Woman's Magazine Building (University City, Mo.) | Subject | Lewis Publishing Company (University City, Mo.) | Subject.Keyword | Buildings--Missouri--University City | Title | Woman's Magazine Building and Press Annex under construction, 1903 - View 7 |
