Contents

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. [2] May helped found the Temple Beth Israel synagogue. [2] 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). [2] 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. [2] 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.
