William Alexander Levy
William Alexander Levy ( 1909 - June 2, 1997 ) was an American architect.
William Alexander Levy studied at New York University and was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright . His best known building is the Hangover House , which he planned in 1937 in Laguna Beach, California on Ceanothus Drive (house number 31172) for Richard Halliburton , Paul Mooney and himself. After Halliburton and Mooney were lost at sea in 1939, the property was owned by Wallace and Zolite Scott for $ 9,000 in 1941 or 1942. The Scott family kept the house almost unchanged. After the death of the last member of the family, Zolita Scott, in 2009, it was offered at a price of $ 5 million. Levy's building is considered one of the most significant works of modern architecture in Orange County . The South Laguna Civic Association is promoting its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historic Resources .
William Alexander Levy lived in Los Angeles .
