Warm Springs Avenue Historic District
Warm Springs Avenue Historic District, Historic residential district in Boise, United States.
The Warm Springs Avenue Historic District extends along a wide, tree-lined thoroughfare featuring 96 residential houses built between 1870 and 1940.
Christopher W. Moore constructed the first large residence on Warm Springs Avenue in 1892, introducing geothermal heating as the first house in the United States.
The district presents Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, and Bungalow architectural styles created by regional architects Tourtellotte, Hummel, and Fennell.
The properties maintain generous setbacks from the street, with north-side lots featuring uniform dimensions and rear alleys, while south-side parcels exceed one acre.
Natural geothermal water from Kelly Hot Springs provided heating for the mansions, establishing an early implementation of sustainable energy in residential architecture.
