This house at 2667 Empire Street was built originally for Arthur and Amelia Levy.
Architects were William D'Oyly Rochfort and E.J. Sankey.
This is a Califronia Mission Revival-style house with red tile roofs and roughcast stucco finish. This picture shows a stepped mission style arched gable (top); exposed rafter tails over the wrap around porch; and arched windows.
Arthur Levy, the original owner, was a well known restauranter in early Victoria, operation Levy's Restaurant, which opened in the late 1870's and "never closed" until c.1914. He was also instrumental in the construction of Temple Emanu-El Synagogue.
