History
Five years after construction of St. Michael's Cathedral (1902), the congregation and its leadership recognized a need for space devoted to receptions, recitals, classrooms, library, gymnasium, and offices. And from its conception, the new building was also intended to honor the work of Bishop Tuttle. Tudor Gothic style and Boise sandstone were chosen to match the exterior of the adjacent cathedral.
[
After the Bishop Tuttle House was completed, the ''Idaho Statesman'' described it as "a stone building of handsome design...costing nearly $20,000."]
