History
editIn 1923 Hazel Cleveland married Blaine Burnett, who with his father, Fred Burnett, owned the Burnett Shoe Company.[3] Mrs. Burnett, also known as H.C. Burnett, contracted with Tourtellotte & Hummel to build the 6-room Burnett House in 1924.[4] A garage was erected in 1929.[5] The Burnetts occupied the house from its construction until 1933, when they moved to Seattle.[6][7] Roy J. McCaslin later owned the Burnett House for several years.[8][9]
In 2019 as part of preparation for expansion of St. Luke's Boise Medical Center, the Burnett House was moved from 124 Bannock Street to a pasture on Warm Springs Avenue, a site occupied by other historic homes.[10]
