Draft:Charles P. McCarthy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles P. McCarthy (c. 1881 – February 4, 1950)[1] was a justice of the Idaho Supreme Court from 1921 to 1925.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, McCarthy graduated from Harvard University in 1902, and moved to Idaho in 1905, there becoming a partner in the law office of William Borah.[1][2]

He... moved on to the positions of acting city attorney and county prosecutor, and married the daughter of a state supreme court judge. In 1912 he was appointed judge of the third district of Idaho, one of the youngest ever appointed to the office, and a year later he built his new house.[2]

In 1905, Charles P. McCarthy settled in Boise with his wife and daughter. The Charles McCarthy home was built in 1913, its design inspired by plans sold by Frank Lloyd Wright.[3]

He was the builder of the Judge Charles P. McCarthy House.
