Description: Marguerite Mae Dee Lewis was the daughter of Charles M. Lewis. She lived her entire life within the Southgate-Lewis House. It was after her death in 1970 that the house was abandoned for nearly a decade (and ultimately condemned for demolition). The photograph caption reads as follows: "Mae D. Lewis, Spanish Teacher, OLCA High School, Class of 1957." The acronym OLCA stands for the following: "Old Laurine Cecil Anderson." (L.C. Anderson was most famous for his teachings and being a school administrator in Texas; he founded the Colored Teachers State Association of Texas." OLCA was located only a few blocks from the Southgate-Lewis House. Mae Dee Lewis grew up with Ada Marie DeBlanc Simond, who lived nearby. Marguerite Mae Dee Lewis, the Lewis family as a whole, and their life during their time in the Southgate-Lewis House have been immortalized in a series of children's books written by Ada Marie DeBlanc Simond.
