Date.Digital | 2003-04-13 | Date.Original | 1906-1909 | Description | The Lewises' house was the first house built in University Heights #1. When the subdivision was being laid out, Lewis reportedly purchased the least desirable piece of property in order to show what could be done. He and his wife, Mabel, built a 15 room Tudor style house. This photograph, the right half of a panorama view of University Heights #1, was taken from the west and shows the Lewises' garden, orchard and vineyard, along with the large boating pond. The small house at the side of the pond is a duck house. The octagonal Woman's Magazine Building is at the top of the hill on the left, and Jackson Johnson's Italian Renaissance Revival mansion is on the right. | Source | Photograph, insect damage upper left, emulsion damage lower left and upper right corner, lower right corner bent, 9.55" by 7.58" | Subject | Buildings--Missouri--University City | Subject | University City (Mo.)--Pictorial Works | Subject | Woman's Magazine Building (University City, Mo.) | Subject | University Heights #1 Subdivision (University City, Mo.) | Subject.Keyword | Houses--Missouri--University City | Title | Right half of a panorama view of University Heights #1 and the Lewises' garden |
