The Wolters Double Houses are two similar bungalows designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel and constructed in Boise, Idaho, USA, in 1908 and 1909. Both houses were built from a single duplex design. Part of Boise's Fort Street Historic District, the two houses were listed on the National Register of Historic Places November 12, 1982.^[2]

In 1872 President Grant appointed Albert Wolters superintendent of Boise's new assay office,^[3] a position he held until 1883.^[4] Wolters then operated smelting and mining operations near Idaho City until 1905, and he returned to Boise in that year to manage his rental properties, building the bungalow at 712-716 N 8th Street in 1908. He constructed the second "double house" at 712-716 N 8th Street in 1909 and occupied one side of the building as his family residence.^[2]

Original cost of the properties was estimated at $8500 each.^[2]
