John Daly House, Boise
The John Daly House, completed in 1910 and designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel, is a notable example of Georgian Revival architecture with a high level of classical detailing. The two-story structure features coursed sandstone walls on the first floor and stucco on the second. The entrance bay incorporates Ionic pilasters, sidelights, and a lunette window above, framed by a bowed balcony balustrade.
Inside, the first floor included formal and private spaces such as a reception hall, library, den, and kitchen, while the upper level was arranged with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and separate sleeping porches. Built during a period of increased classical revival influence in Boise, the John Daly House stands out for its scale and planning, uncommon in the Near North End neighborhood at the time.
