California style house, upload feito originalmente por ngawangchodron.
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.
