You may have noticed the Bown House as you ve driven on Parkcenter Boulevard in Southeast Boise. It s hard to miss because it looks so out of place. Located in front of the modern-looking Riverside Elementary School sits an old sandstone house built in 1879. Originally this was the home of the Bown Family. Joseph, a farmer, his wife Temperance, and their seven children lived in the house when they moved from Waterloo, Iowa. If you ve ever been in a place with seven children, you know that it can be loud, which might be the reason the walls in the house are 22 inches thick.
