A. Overbeck, with a 2-story garage/apartment behind it.","why_significant":"It is nominated under Criterion C for architecture as an exceptional example of an eclectic residence mixing Italian Renaissance and Prairie School influences. It is one of the few original Edgewood Addition houses left on MLK, formerly Forest Avenue, a once-prestigious streetcar route. It also reflects the upscale homes built by prominent Jewish business families in South Dallas.","narrative":"Built around 1915 at 2433 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Dallas, this 2 1/2-story brick house combines Italian Renaissance and Prairie School details. Its red ceramic tile hipped roof, broad eaves with brackets, cast stone trim, and a one-story portico with a wide segmental arch define the facade. A three-sided bay window with Doric columns and a small balcony add to the design. Architect H. A. Overbeck designed it for Charles G. Levi, an investment banker, in the Edgewood Addition, the last exclusive residential development in South Dallas. The street, once a prestigious streetcar route called Forest Avenue, later lost most of its original houses to commercial redevelopment. This house remains one of the best-preserved examples, with few changes beyond metal screens. Levi's son-in-law Jacob Moses lived there until about 1945. A two-story garage/apartment behind the house also contributes to the property's character. It was listed for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"c. 1915","architect_builder":"Overbeck, H.A.","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Italian Renaissance (with Prairie School elements)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good physical condition with little change since construction; still used as a single dwelling.
