Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Collister School in the Collister neighborhood of Boise, Idaho, was designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel and constructed in 1912. The 2-story, 4-room, stucco over brick building features large window bays and a flat parapet roofline with minimal ornamentation. The building was expanded in 1948 with a 2-story addition to the left of the original structure. Another expansion in 1953 added a 1-story row of classrooms to the right. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

A 1-room Collister School in the suburban town of Collister, Idaho, had existed prior to 1912. But by 1911, conditions at the school were overcrowded and unsanitary.[2] The school was part of Ada County School District #46, and voters approved a bond measure for construction of a new school in 1912.[3][4] In 1922 the school was annexed into the Boise Independent School District.[5]

Dr. George Collister

Dr. George Collister (October 16, 1856—October 18, 1935) began his medical practice in Boise in 1881, and he owned farmland at the site of Collister Station, a stop on the Boise Interurban Railway. In 1912 George and Mary Collister donated land for the construction of Collister School.[6][7]
