Levi–Moses House is a historic residential building in Dallas, Texas, U.S.. It was designed by architect H. A. Overbeck with elements of Italianate, Renaissance revival, and Prairie School styles.[2] It is one of the few residences of the Edgewood Addition (1912) that is surviving on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (formerly Forest Avenue), the principal streetcar route across the South Dallas neighborhood.[2] The Edgewood Addition was home to many prominent Jewish families who built their homes near Temple Emanu-El (which is no longer existing in that location).[2] The original owner of the house was Charles G. Levi and then his son-in-law Jacob Moses who succeeded him.[2]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1995, for the architecture.[2] It is also known as Phase IV--East Dallas DAL/DA 16.[3]
