Colonial Revival houses in Boise
Colonial Revival reworks the symmetry, shutters and classical doorways of American colonial building. It was the most widely used house style in the country from the 1890s through the 1940s.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1904 to 1929. 10 stops, 1.4 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.
