Description | The Woman's National Daily Building, designed by architect Herbert C. Chivers, was built by Edward Gardner Lewis for his newspaper venture. Artist Ralph Chesley Ott was reportedly sent to Egypt to gather ideas for interior design. In this photograph, the building is almost complete. Copper cornices are in place on the pylon and entry as well as the main building. Decorative moldings for the interior are on the ground in front. |
