The Idaho State Forester's Building, also known as The Cabin, in Boise, Idaho, is a 1+1⁄2-story log cabin designed by Boise Payette Lumber Company architect Hans C. Hulbe and constructed in 1940 by round-log artists John Heillila and Gust Lapinoja.
Logs for the cabin are peeled Engelmann spruce with full dovetail notch and oakum chinking.
[3] Legislation again was considered in 1921 and in 1924,[4][5] and finally in 1925 the legislature approved a bill establishing the position of state forester.
As a result of frequent relocations, Girard established the Idaho State Forester's Building in 1940.
In November, 2018, the Boise city council voted to move The Cabin to Julia Davis Park to allow room for expansion of the library.
