Houses and mansions in Boise
This tour visits places the Register records as dwellings, among them single houses, rowhouses and mansions. Many are private homes and the stops are meant to be seen from the sidewalk. More of the Boise register is houses than any other kind of building, 58 listings of it in all.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1901 to 1918. 15 stops, 0.6 miles end to end.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.
Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed September 19, 2026.
