Streetcar Public Art

A close-up of utility box art. Although this depicts a streetcar, we do not have streetcars in Boise today. The city did have streetcars in the late 1800s.

Shades of the Boise Depot

This building is is at 25th and State. It reminds me of the Boise Depot [old train station]. I'll guess the same architects?

Really. I adore this southern-styled charmer. I've never been inside, but I've already plotted how to update the landscaping...now, to win the lottery!

Hurtt House

I posted a photo of the Hurtt House a few years ago. This is an updated look. The building is part of the St. Paul Baptist Church complex downtown. The old home is used as a distribution point for clothes and other things people in need might need.
