The Brunzell House in Boise, Idaho, is a one-and-a-half-story, brick and wood Bungalow designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in 1908. The house features Colonial Revival decorations, including deeply flared eaves. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [2] It also is a contributing resource in the Fort Street Historic District.
The Brunzell House was commissioned by John M. Brunzell, [2] a Nampa resident and former postmaster and state representative from Reynolds Creek in Owyhee County. [3] [4] Brunzell never occupied the house, and he may have intended it either as a rental or as a gift to his nephew, Fred Brunzell, who owned lot 3, block 84, where the house was constructed. [5] [6]
Fred Brunzell purchased property for the house in 1892. [7] He and Oline Brunzell lived at the house from about 1912 until her death in 1918, [8] but they were not the original residents.
In 1908 Victoria L. Eoff rented the newly constructed house. [9] She and her late husband, Alfred Eoff, had been owners of the Eoff-Brady House, designed by John E. Tourtellotte and constructed in 1897. In 1911 Mrs. Eoff moved into the newly constructed Victoria Louise Eoff House, designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel. Both Eoff houses are contributing resources in Boise's West Warm Springs Historic District. [10] [11]
In 1919 Fred Brunzell transferred the house to his children, Selma B. Getchell and Alvin O. Brunzell. [12] Getchell later sold her share of the house to her brother in 1919. [13] Fred Brunzell died in 1920 at the age of 86. [14]
