Description	Edward Gardner Lewis hired architect Herbert C. Chivers in 1903 to design the new headquarters for the Lewis Publishing Company. He designed the building using a mix of styles. The building, known more familiarly as the Woman's Magazine Building, is constructed of rusticated stonework and upper stories of rusticated brickwork decorated with spiraling garlands and classic egg and dart moldings. William Bailey created the lions that flank the entries as well as the cupids atop the arched windows on the fifth floor. The conservatory to the right is the public entryway into the Press Annex.
