The J.M. Johnson House in Boise, Idaho, is a -story Queen Anne house designed by John E. Tourtellotte and constructed in 1898. The house includes a sandstone foundation and features a Tuscan column porch with a prominent, corner entry at 10th and Franklin Streets. A side gable with a shingled dimple window above a prominent beveled window bay are central to the Franklin Street exposure. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
J.M. Johnson was a wool buyer from Mountain Home. He moved to Boise in 1898, the year of construction of the J.M. Johnson House.[2] Among his business activities, Johnson traded in real estate and engaged in ranching. In 1919 he sold the J.M. Johnson House after purchasing a 7000-acre cattle ranch in Alturas.[3] [4]
