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. This photograph was probably taken soon after the headquarters building, known more familiarly as the Woman's Magazine Building, was completed. William Bailey's lion sculptures flank the entries, and his two-ton cupids perch above the arched fifth floor windows. The famous 80 inch General Electric searchlight that Lewis used to attract visitors from the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, has been raised and is visible above the crown of the domed roof.
