Nampa is the largest city of Canyon County, Idaho. The population of Nampa was 81,557 at the 2010 census and, as of 2018, is the third-most populous city in Idaho. Nampa is about 20 miles (32 km) west of Boise along Interstate 84, and six miles (10 km) west of Meridian. Nampa is the second principal city of the Boise-Nampa metropolitan area. The name "Nampa" may have come from a Shoshoni word meaning either moccasin or footprint.
It was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel. Its NRHP nomination states:
Tourtellotte & Hummel was an American architectural firm from Boise, Idaho and Portland, Oregon.
The Nampa Presbyterian Church is architecturally significant as a handsome and unaltered Gothic church design of the later 1910s, which suggests in the increased verticality of its parapeted gables the renewed picturesque impulse that seems to have been emerging at this time (see also site 95). The church is also significant as one of the fairly numerous Nampa commissions by this firm, one which contributes welcome texture and style in a town whose streetscapes are consierably eroded. Finally, it stands as an example of the progressive building campaigns whereby small-town churches often accommodated growing congregations with limited resources. [2]
