The T.J. Jones Apartments in Boise, Idaho, is a 2-story, brick and stone building originally designed in 1904 by Tourtellotte & Co. and expanded in 1911 by Tourtellotte and Hummel. The structure features a prominent Queen Anne corner turret, but Renaissance Revival characteristics also were discovered in preparation for adding the building to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[2]
The original design included 12 2-story apartments, and after the building was expanded in 1911, it contained 17 2-story apartments.[3][4] The foundation and load bearing walls were designed for a 4-story building to be completed at a future date, but the building has remained a 2-story structure.[5]
