ArchWalks 2026 | July Tour Series: Highland Park Uncovered

Highland
Park, the name itself denotes middle-class success and easy living. How did the
Progressive Era and the City Beautiful movement in American history impact the
North End in Boise? You can see it in the beautiful variety of homes in the
Highland Park Addition at the south end of 17th and 18th streets in the North
End. Join local teacher and Preservation Idaho board member Doug Stan as we
rediscover an overlooked part of local history.

Doug
Stan is a Social Studies teacher at Boise High School and a graduate from
Occidental College, where he took Professor Robert Winter’s L.A. Architecture.
This course is the inspiration for the Idaho Architecture Project, and sought
to introduce students to neighborhood architecture and architectural history.
Doug is a Board Member, Treasurer and the Education Committee Chair for
Preservation Idaho.
