DescriptionIn 1903, Edward Gardner Lewis hired architect Herbert C. Chivers to design the new headquarters for the Lewis Publishing Company. He designed the building using a mix of styles. In this photograph taken on February 2, 1904, the copper roof is being installed on the Woman's Magazine Building by the six men on top of the building. The decorative framing for the fifth floor arched windows is in place and glass has been installed in windows on lower floors. Sculptor William Bailey's two-ton cupids are in place over the arched windows. The Press Annex is complete except for the conservatory at the south end.
