Historic barns aren’t invincible, and we need to capture their brilliance before they are lost. You can help us make a difference by filling out a form for a historic barn near you, spreading the word about the register, or donating at Idaho Gives to support our efforts.
The owners of the Travis Apartment (1620 W. Bannock St.) want to demolish this historic Art Deco building for a new commercial/high-end apartment/personal residence. 80-years of history will go to the landfill. Boise is growing and that is OK but we need to protect our dwindling inventory of significant historic buildings. Not all historic buildings need to be saved but this one does! This beautiful building contains excellent examples of bygone craftsmanship and design detail.
