Franklin School (Boise, Idaho)

Franklin School was a two-story brick and stucco building in the western United States, located in Boise, Idaho.

Designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel and constructed in 1926, the school featured a flat roof with a decorated concrete parapet.

In the 1880s, Benjamin Scott purchased the Ridenbaugh Ranch, and he donated land for construction of a one-room school at the corner of Franklin and Orchard Roads.

The schoolhouse was enlarged to two rooms in 1901;[7] by 1903, the district had 132 students, and it was ready for a larger school building.

[2] Boise City Parks and Recreation purchased a portion of the property in 2013, and the corner parcel that was the site of Franklin School was purchased by Maverik, a gasoline and convenience market company.
