Notes
  • Significance: The Eastman block is architecturally significant as a good example of the Renaissance Revival style in commercial architecture. Its granite, sandstone, brick and terra cotta ornamentation are especially noteworthy and make the building a local landmark. One especially noteworthy design feature is its elaborate terra cotta cornice of lions-heads and its classical arched granite entry. The Eastman building stands on the site of Boise's pioneer Overland Hotel. The old hotel was active from 1864 to 1904, and housed, among other things, the city's first telephone exchange. In 1927 the Overland block's name was changed to the "Eastman" block in honor of the managers of the old Overlan Hotel. The brick building has housed a number of doctors' and dentists' offices over the years, as well as other business and professional offices. Tourtellotte and Company was the foremost architectural firm in Boise when this building was erected. The structure is a good example of their work and is one of the few commercial structures of theirs to use the Renaissance Revival style.
