DescriptionIn 1909, grading work began on Delmar Boulevard as Edward Gardner Lewis began promoting University Height subdivisions #4 and #5, also known as Monument Place, which extended west on Delmar almost to Hanley Road. The subdivision had not yet been developed, but was being promoted as an investment. This photograph was taken looking east on Delmar, probably from close to the then city limit at Hanley. The Woman's Magazine Building is just barely visible over the tree tops.
