Mountain Home Air Force Base 1958 Senior Officers' Housing, Colonel's Residence, Tuck Street (originally Locust Street), Mountain Home, Elmore County, ID
Summary
Significance: The three senior officers' houses at Mountain Home Air Force Base were constructed as part of the 270-unit Armed Services Housing Project, a collaboration between the architectural firms of Richard J. Neutra & Robert E. Alexander of Los Angeles and Hummel, Hummel & Jones of Boise, Idaho. Prominent architect Richard Neutra designed the three officers' housing units in 1958 and construction was completed in 1959.
