The Julia Budge House was a historic house located at 57 W. 1st North in Paris, Idaho. The house was constructed in the 1890s for Julia Budge, one of the wives of Mormon leader William Budge.

The house has a one-story cottage plan with Queen Anne details, including a trefoil bargeboard pattern, bracketed window heads, and pendant-shaped finials.[1]
