The Minnie Priest Dunton House was designed by John E. Tourtellotte and constructed in Boise, Idaho, United States, in 1899. The original Queen Anne design was that of a single family home, but the house was remodeled by Tourtellotte & Hummel in 1913 and became a seven-bedroom boardinghouse with Tudor Revival features. Dunton named her house "Rosemere" for her rose garden. It was included as a contributing property in the Fort Street Historic District on November 12, 1982.[2] The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1982.[3]
Minnietta "Minnie" Priest Dunton was an early advocate of women's rights in Idaho,[4] and she was appointed Idaho State Librarian in 1907.[5] Her husband, Herbert W. Dunton, served as district attorney for Boise County, Idaho Territory, in the 1880s.[6]
