The Joseph Chitwood House in Boise, Idaho, is a 2-story, vernacular Queen Anne house constructed by Joseph Chitwood in 1892. The house has been modified by a series of small expansions since its construction, and its original T-shape design is irregular. A prominent, beveled bay protrudes toward the Denver Street exposure, and a hip roof porch at left of the bay provides a sheltered entry. Front and side gables above the second floor are covered by a tent roof, with 1-story, hip roof additions toward the back of the house. The Chitwood House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[2]
Joseph R. Chitwood built his house beginning in 1891, and a lien was placed on the property in that year for nonpayment of $83 in construction materials.[3] Later, Chitwood and three of his brothers owned a profitable mine at Thunder Mountain.[4] Chitwood died unexpectedly at the mine in August, 1905, at the age of 46.[5]
The property includes a 16 by 17 feet (4.9 m × 5.2 m) barn built in 1912, facing onto its service alley, which was extended slightly to be able to garage cars, and later stabilized by a poured foundation.[2]
