He returned to Minnesota in 1904, and in 1911, he partnered with architect Edwin Brown.^[3] Hewitt's house is architecturally significant within Minneapolis and testifies to the impact of his career.^[2]

Memorial Commission

Since 1919, the Soldier's Memorial Commission had been planning a memorial to all of the community's soldiers. A suitable location was sought and it was intended to be placed on Victory Memorial Drive. The memorial was budgeted at $100,000 and several fundraising plans were looked at. Mr. E.H. Hewitt of Hewitt & Brown Architects submitted a proposal and sketch for the monument. The Great Depression put a damper on the plans. The money collected was invested and had aided in maintenance of the bronze stars and crosses. The memorial was put on hold, to be looked at after World War II. It is not known what happened to the plans. http://www.victoryneighborhood.org/history.php
