Polly Bemis House, Pioneer homestead in Salmon River Valley, Idaho.
The wooden house features traditional log construction with shingle roofing, standing near the banks of the Salmon River in central Idaho.
Built in 1923 to replace the original structure that burned down in 1922, the house belonged to Chinese-American pioneer Polly Bemis and her husband Charles.
The residence represents the integration of Chinese immigrants in Idaho during the 19th century, particularly through the experience of former slave Polly Bemis.
The house location requires boat access, as it sits 44 miles east of Riggins and 17 miles north of Warren without road connections.
The property now functions as part of a 26-acre non-profit ranch, preserving the legacy of one of Idaho's earliest Chinese-American settlers.
