Description	When Edward Gardner Lewis opened the People's United States Bank, he hired architect Herbert C. Chivers to design the building. This sketch by artist George Blake includes tall obelisks on either side of the door and sphinxes flanking the broad stairway. Neither of these were included when the building was completed. When the Bank was closed in 1905, Chivers' plans for the intended building were adapted for use as the publishing plant for Lewis' newspaper venture, "The Woman's National Daily."
