English: Built in 1909, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Eames and Young to serve as the Women’s Art Academy, founded by businessman and magazine publisher Edward Gardner Lewis, whom owned a magazine publishing and printing business that sat in a complex of buildings adjacent to the site. In 1915, the building was purchased by the University City Public School District, and became home to Luther T. Ward High School, which was expanded in 1923 and 1926, was converted into a Junior High School in 1930, and closed in 1949. The building then housed various departments of the University City government and facilities for the adjacent Delmar-Harvard Elementary School until 1984, when it was purchased by Washington University in St. Louis and became known as the Lewis Collaborative, a combination of Graduate student art studios and apartments. The building features a buff brick exterior, terra cotta trim, decorative reliefs, fluted ionic columns, window surrounds, a cornice with dentils, pilasters, and banded trim at the original building, and simpler wings to the rear. The building is a contributing structure in the University City Plaza Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and remains in use by the Lewis Collaborative.
