The Willis Mickle House in Boise, Idaho, is a -story Queen Anne cottage designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in 1898. The house features a prominent, left front facing gable with dormer that rises above a right front porch. The first floor outer walls are of random course Boise sandstone. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
Willis and Marie (Keeffe) Mickle were married in 1898 and were original owners of the house,[2] which the Idaho Statesman described as "a pleasing and substantial innovation in Boise building."[3] Willis Mickle was superintendent of Capitol Electric Light, Motor and Gas Company,[1] and he had been the electrician of the Boise volunteer fire department.[4] The Mickles were active in local politics, and Marie Mickle served as clerk of elections for Boise Precinct No. 9.[5] [6] By 1916 the couple had moved to Portland, Oregon.[7]
