Statement of Significance: The Warm Springs Historic District is architecturally significant for the large number of fine houses representing a wide range of architectural styles spanning seven decades (1870-1940). It is historically significant for its visual reminders of local history.
Including two of Boise's older residences (George Russell, #26, 1869 and John Maynard, #52, c. 1879), this district also contains a number of fine examples of Queen Anne architecture, specifically the Kingsburry (#33), Kinney (#66) and Eraser (#5) residences.
The Colonial Revival style is well represented on Warm Springs Avenue by the Cavanah (#81), Cox (#88) and Roger Davidson (#31) houses. The large sandstone Children's Home (#60) near the west end of the district is both socially and architecturally significant.
Fine examples of the Mission Revival,Tudor, and Bungalow styles are also found on Warm Springs Avenue. Indeed, this historic district provides a rich variety of architectural styles which reflects the constantly changing taste in residential architecture.Photographed by Douglass Halvorsen, June 26, 20232.
