State Street Historic District
About this property
The State Street Historic District in Boise, Idaho, is a group of houses constructed between 1886 and 1940 along West Jefferson and State Streets, bounded by North 2nd and 3rd Streets.

The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
