The J. R. Shepherd House, at 58 W. Center St. in Paris, Idaho is a historic Queen Anne style house that was built in 1890. The house has been called the most architecturally exquisite in Paris, and it is the largest Queen Anne house in the city. Builder H. R. Shepherd built the house in 1890 for his brother J.R., a local businessman who ran the city's Mercantile Store. The house's design inspired other city residents to construct Queen Anne homes; one of these, the Dr. George Ashley House, is also listed on the National Register.[1][2][3]
