Also address integrity) <br />The Levengood House is architecturally significant as a representative example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, one of <br />many that characterize the Wilshire Square neighborhood. The house and garage were constructed in 1930 at a cost of <br />$3, 650.00 for Mrs. Mary Leavengood, who had occupied the residence by 1931. The house remained in the Levengood <br />family until at least 1952, according to city building permits. According the 1991 Wilshire Square Home Tour brochure, Mary <br />Levengood was the widow of Frank Levengood, a farmer who struck oil in his bean fields. Mrs. Levengood raised her <br />granddaughter in this house, and lived here until she died in the late 1950s. She also built the house next door, on the <br />corner, for her son. <br />(See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4.) <br />B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) <br />*1312.
