This paper shows that the famous western-style house called “The Former Guggenheim House” was actually built by J.Lyons in Shioya, Kobe, from the end of 1907 to 1908. “The Former Lyons house,” also known as the former Takeuchi house, was built by J.Guggenheim. For a long time, those two houses have been mistaken. J.Lyons established J.Lyons & Co., and this company will later become Nickel and Lyons Ltd.. F.M.Jonas and P.Watson, who were deeply connected with J.Lyons, joined his company and acquired land in Shioya. We can affirm that J.Lyons influenced the development of Shioya into a resort area.
