Description	This photograph of Edward Gardner Lewis was taken in his office in the Woman's Magazine Building about 1904. His office was the most elegant in the building, featuring quarter sawn oak wainscoting and guilt trim, etched glass in the hall doors and transoms, and Ralph Chesley Ott's ceiling mural. Interior doors in all first and second floor offices enabled the occupants to move from one office to the next without going out into the main hall, although in this photograph the door has been covered by a bookcase.
