The Levy House, at 111-121 California Ave. in Reno, Nevada, is a historic Classical Revival-style house that was built in 1906. It was home of William Levy, a merchant and mining businessman.[1][2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983,[1] qualifying as a high-quality example of the Classical Revival style, for its association with Levy, and as a significant component of local history.[2]: 3 

The building was moved c. 1940, turning it 90 degrees and repositioning it on the lot.[2]
