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. [3] Tudor Gothic style and Boise sandstone were chosen to match the exterior of the adjacent cathedral. [2]

After the Bishop Tuttle House was completed, the Idaho Statesman described it as "a stone building of handsome design...costing nearly $20,000." [4]
