The Levi Hexter House is a historic house located in southwest Portland, Oregon, United States that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] It is located within the King's Hill Historic District.
The house was built in 1892–1893 by Levi Hexter (1836–1897), a prominent Jewish businessman who founded the Hexter, May & Co. hardware store with Levi May.[1] May helped found the Temple Beth Israel synagogue.[1] Levi and Laura (née May) Hexter had two sons and three daughters who lived in the house (one son had died previous to the house's construction).[1] After Laura Hexter's death in 1917, the house became a boarding house; and there are also unverified claims that the house was the site of bootlegging during Prohibition of the 1920s.[1] Starting in the 1960s, it went through a complete restoration[citation needed] by owner Robert Perron, a prominent Portland landscape architect responsible for the landscape designs of Terry Schrunk Plaza, the Portland Art Museum and Keller Auditorium.[1]
