History
The building is a boxy 3-story, 20 room house, in an Italianate style that was simplified.[3] The Boone's University School for Boys (sometimes referred to as Boone's Academy) building is an example of the late 19th-century private academies that flourished in California.[3] The school was founded by Philip Riley Boone (1851–1912), who bought the unfinished one story building in 1884 and moved in his existing school.[3] His school was successful enough to add two more floors to the building a few years later in 1891.[3] A 1903 state law change signaled the end of the 19th century academy boom in California.[3]
The building had remained in the Boone family as a rooming house until 1980.[2]
