The Nathan Smith House in Boise, Idaho, is a 1+1⁄2-story Colonial Revival farmhouse designed by John E. Tourtellotte and constructed in 1900. The house features a veneer of cobblestones from the Boise River below shingled upper gables and hooded dimple windows, but its most prominent design element is a front facing basket arch balcony above the porch. The overall design is an early example of a Bungalow, and it influenced later designs in Boise. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[2]
Originally 8-rooms, the interior featured indoor plumbing and "the patent hard-wall plaster now being tried." The Idaho Statesman described the walls as being as hard as adamant.[3][4][5]
Nathan Smith was a farmer in South Boise who owned an orchard of prune trees.[6] After Smith's death in 1907,[7] the house became the property of W.M. Stockton. By 1913 the house had become known as "Fairlawns."[8]
