DescriptionIn 1903, Edward Gardner Lewis hired architect Herbert C. Chivers to design the new headquarters for the Lewis Publishing Company. This is one of two main entries to the building, known familiarly as the Woman's Magazine Building, and features Doric columns and massive rusticated limestone piers supporting a triangular pediment featuring a carved cartouche with crossed palm leaves. The stairs are flanked by William Bailey's lion sculptures.
