Sam Lewis House, Joseph Cather Newsom, Architect c.1890
One of the first residences built with financing from our California Bank was the Sam Lewis House. Sam Lewis served as a captain in the Civil War, where he participated in the siege of Chattanooga, battles at Peachtree Creek, Chattahoochee River and Jonesboro.
The Sam Lewis house still stands today at 1425 Miramar Street in Los Angeles, around the corner from Witmer Street and the Witmer estate, which is on the national register of historic properties. The home has been used throughout the years for different movie sets and backdrops.
The architect was one of the great builders of early California; many of his best known projects may still be seen, including the Carson Mansion (Eureka); Fitzgerald House, and the Severance House, both in Los Angeles.
