Alva Fleharty House, Boise
The Alva Fleharty House, built in 1902, is a one-and-a-half-story residence designed by Tourtellotte & Co., combining Queen Anne features with elements of the shingled colonial style. The structure is marked by a large, two-slope roof with broad shingled gables and a projecting two-story polygonal bay that dominates the front fa莽ade. Decorative details include alternating rows of diamond and half-octagonal shingles, molded window heads with elongated wooden keystones, and a modest front porch supported by plain square posts with subtle molding accents.
Though Alva and Maude Fleharty occupied the house for less than a year before relocating to California, the home remains notable for its architectural profile and early use of design hybridization. The design includes an asymmetrical dormer, inset porch, and a tent-roofed bay that distinguishes it from other projects by the same firm. Modifications such as a rear dormer and gabled overdoor were likely added soon after its construction. Recognized for its architectural significance, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
