Description | In 1903, Edward Gardner Lewis hired architect Herbert C. Chivers to design the new headquarters for the Lewis Publishing Company. He designed the building using a mix of styles. In this photograph taken in the winter of 1903-1904, the exterior walls for the headquarters building, known more familiarly as the Woman's Magazine Building, are complete and framing is in place for the domed roof. The Press Annex on the left is complete except for the conservatory that would be built at the south end. The buildings of Delmar Garden Amusement Park and Delmar Race Track are just visible in the distance. |
