Property Features
This house was built for Louis Levy, a partner in the Golden Eagle store on W. Milwaukee St.
"The houses of Louis Levy (620) and Fred Capelle (621) are representative of the richly detailed Historic Revival houses built in the district. Both use a rectangular plan, with far different results. The Levy house has a Mediterranean feel, with grillwork and arches at the window. The Capelle House has Federal and Georgian Revival motifs in the lunette and side-Craftsman motifs such as brackets, trusses, and exposed rafters are combined in this well-executed stucco house. The building rests on a slightly flared base. An Arts and Crafts-inspired fixture lights the porch. Olson was a jeweler at Olin and Olson." The Courthouse Hill Historic District: A Guide, Janesville Historic Commission, 1997.
