Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service is proposing to develop a Programmatic Agreement for the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund grant program in accordance with 36 CFR § 800.14(b)(2) in the State of Oregon. This competitive grant program provides funding to States and  federally-recognized Indian Tribes to protect, conserve, and restore salmon populations.

The Story

On July 4, 1863, the U.S. Army established Fort Boise along the Oregon Trail in southern Idaho. This led to the founding of the neighboring city of Boise three days later. The Army brought a skilled stonemason, Charles May, who designed the fort’s sandstone buildings. Three of the early buildings are still standing, one of which is Building 4, the Surgeon’s Quarters. It served as office and living space for surgeons and their families for more than 120 years and is one of the oldest sandstone buildings in the state.
