The Bishop West Barn, on W. 2nd St. in Paris, Idaho, was built in the 1880s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]

It was associated with the leader (bishop) of a Mormon congregation. Specifically, it was deemed "significant for its association in folk memory with a Bishop West, who came to Paris to serve as bishop of the Paris First Ward in 1883. Appropriate to West's position in the Paris community, his barn is a large example of the Paris barn type in a variant with one side lean-to. Log construction details common to Paris appear in this barn: hewn log timbers joined with half-dovetail notching and chinked with split poles and daub." [2]

Merritt Fry Farm United States historic place

The Merritt Fry Farm is a historic farm located west of Jerome, Idaho, United States. The farm includes three stone buildings: a house, a bunkhouse, and a barn. The house and bunkhouse were built by prominent Jerome stone mason H. T. Pugh and illustrate his ability to match stones, join them with mortar, and use concrete for decoration. Farmer Merritt Fry had the bunkhouse built in 1916; it served as his temporary home until he could build a more permanent house. While farmers frequently built temporary farmhouses, Fry's is unusual in that it uses stone rather than a less sturdy material. The barn followed the bunkhouse in 1926, and Fry's permanent farmhouse was completed in 1930.
