- Source: South Eighth Street Historic District
The South Eighth Street Historic District in Boise, Idaho, is an area of approximately 8 acres (3.2 ha) that includes 22 commercial buildings generally constructed between 1902 and 1915. The buildings are of brick, many with stone cornices and rounded arches, and are between one and four stories in height. The area had been Boise's warehouse district, and many of the buildings were constructed adjacent to railroad tracks that separated downtown from its industrial core. The district is bounded by Broad and Fulton Streets and 8th and 9th Streets.
Only the Idaho Candy Company remains in business at its location in the district (1909), and most of the other sites have been converted for shopping, restaurants, and offices. Boise Contemporary Theater and the Esther Simplot Performing Arts Academy also occupy buildings in the district.
