Red Xs show the location of the Lewis home (then owned by Walker's nephew,
George W. Lewis - "Geo. Lewis" on the map), and location of the small tomb.
Adam Lewis's home across the street had been razed in the late 1850s.

The Lewis home would be razed five years after the above map was drawn. Either the family tomb had been
relocated by this time, or Walling simply failed to include it on his map.

The Lewis Home was razed in 1889 and another house built in its location.
The thick white line shows the approximate location of what was the long
passage to the Lewis family tomb, which became Garden Street Place in the 1880s
but no longer exists.
