The State of Idaho has been without an official governor's residence since 2013.[1]

Pierce House, in Boise's North End at 1805 N. 21st Street, served that role from 1947 to 1989.[2] From 2009 until 2013,[3] the former home of billionaire agribusiness magnate J. R. Simplot (1909–2008) and his wife Esther Simplot, served as the governor's official residence, although the house remained unoccupied; during this period, it was officially known as Idaho House.

Citing upkeep costs, the state returned the house to the Simplot family in 2013; it was demolished in January 2016, although its substantial flagpole remains.[4]
