The William J. Leverett House is a historic house in the Nob Hill neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1928 and is a notable early example of the Pueblo Revival style. The property was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1985 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. [1] It is also a contributing property in the Monte Vista and College View Historic District. [2]

The house was built as a personal residence and model home by William J. Leverett, the developer of the surrounding Monte Vista subdivision. It has been compared to the James N. Gladding House, which is also a Pueblo-style model home built around the same time in the Spruce Park neighborhood. The Leverett house is roughly rectangular in plan, one story high, and constructed from stuccoed adobe. It displays many characteristics of the Pueblo style such as vigas, irregular parapets, and front and rear portales or porticos with log posts and corbels. [3]
