Description | In 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 in the spring of 1904, the copper roof has been installed on the Woman's Magazine Building. Sculptor William Bailey's two-ton cupids are in place over the arched windows. The Press Annex is complete except for the conservatory which is being framed at the south end. The small building at the north end of the Press Annex housed the power plant. |
