The Mitchell Hotel in Boise, Idaho, was a 2-story, brick and stone building designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in 1906. The building featured segmentally arched fenestrations with "denticulated surrounds of header brick." The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982.[2]
Considered a modern hotel in 1906, the building included steam heat and plumbing in each of 40 second-floor, "cozily furnished" rooms.[3][4] The first floor contained a restaurant and a barbershop, and later a millinery shop occupied one of the storefronts.[5] The building also served briefly as a polling place for precinct four in local elections.[6]
Edward Mitchell was the first proprietor of the hotel, and he sold the building within a year after opening.[7]
In 1974 Good Medicine Natural Foods opened in the building,[8] followed by Natural Foods Cafe. The restaurant had closed by September, 1976.[9] After its listing on the NRHP in 1982, the building was demolished and replaced by a parking lot.
