Description When Edward Gardner Lewis' People's United States Bank was closed in 1905, architect Herbert C. Chivers' plans for the intended building were adapted for use as the publishing plant for Lewis' newspaper venture, "The Woman's National Daily." In this photograph, workmen are beginning installation of white Georgian marble which would cover the exterior, and the copper cornice is in place on the main part of the building. This photograph in an uncropped format appeared in the "Woman's Farm Journal" in September 1906.
