The H.K. Fritchman House in Boise, Idaho, was a -story Colonial Revival cottage designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in 1904. The house featured an off center, pedimented porch with Doric columns, decorative window head moldings under side gables, and a prominent, pedimented front gable with dimple window centered below the lateral ridgebeam. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982.[1] The house was demolished in 1987. Officials from the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office took documentary photographs of the interior and artifacts including radiators, leaded windows, and a banister were removed. The banister went to the Basque Center in Boise, Idaho and other items went to similar houses in the area.[2]
Harry Fritchman was a commercial traveler or traveling salesman based in Boise. He lived briefly in Portland, Oregon, then returned to Boise in 1904, the year the H.K. Fritchman House was constructed.[3] Fritchman served one year as mayor of Boise 1911–1912.[4]
A second H.K. Fritchman House was constructed at 1707 Harrison Boulevard in 1920, and it is a contributing resource in Boise's Harrison Boulevard Historic District. At the time of his death, Harry Fritchman was living two blocks from the second house, at 1606 N. 17th St.[5]
