The Levi Willits House is a historic house located at 202 Main Street in New Boston, Illinois. Levi Willits, a prominent local businessman who ran the city's general store, built the house in 1856. The house has a Greek Revival design, a popular style when it was built. The house's design includes six-over-six windows with flat sills and lintels and a low hip roof, both typical Greek Revival features. The south and northwest corner entrances both feature porches; these porches, along with a since-removed porch on the east side, originally had classical columns and balustrades but were later remodeled.^[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1995.^[1] The New Boston Historical Society operates a local history museum in the house.
