Vintage Postcards Show Off 10 Mesmerizing Places That Vanished From Boise
They just don't build them like they used. You don't realize how true that is until you see photos of these magnificent buildings that once lined the streets of Boise.
Many of them have been completely demolished. Others were purchased, remodeled and had all of the character sucked out of them. Beautiful art deco designs and bright colors have been replaced with white walls, hardwood floors and minimalist designs. Towering castle like brick buildings got bland modern replacements.
