The Morris Sommer House, at 548 W. 2nd St. in Weiser, Idaho, was built in 1899. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
It is an L-shaped house which was designed by architect of the John E. Tourtellotte in a version of Queen Anne style. Aspects of the design consistent with Queen Anne style are the irregularity of its massing and roofline, use of a wraparound porch, and decorative elements in its surfaces and moldings. It is unusual for its "long flared roof flowing down". The "unusually flowing roof", coming from a high truncated hipped roof down and out over a porch, appears in later examples of the John E. Tourtellotte & Company's works. Other examples are the Wills House in Boise, and the Wyman House (1908) on Harrison Boulevard also in Boise.[2][note 1]
Notes
- ^ The city of the second one is derived from fact (apparent from Google maps) that there is a Harrison Boulevard in Boise but not one in Weiser.
