Orville Jackson Building: The Commission discussed the meeting with Bill
McCarrel and the future of the Orville Jackson Building. It was agreed that those
members who could, should attend the next Eagle City Council meeting to clarify the
Commission's position on maintaining the historic value of the site.
Eagle Register of Historic Sites: Pam Kelch gave a report on the status of the
proposed Eagle Register. SHPO has given us information regarding architecture and
surveys. SHPO says that five of the properties being considered have been moved
from their original positions, i.e., Charles Lang's house was moved in 1996.
Discussion followed on how the moved properties could be included in the Register.
It was suggested that only those that had been moved from one Eagle location to
another Eagle location be included in a separate chapter.
Pam reported that homes at 1901 N. Eagle Road were barrack buildings from World
War II that were moved from Gowan Field to the Eagle/Beacon Light area to provide
temporary housing for returning veterans as there was a severe housing shortage in
Boise following the war.
Frank Thomason and Pam Kelch stated that SHPO has been very helpful to the
Commission and that it is a good resource. There are now 40 properties on the
register.

received an email from consultant Madeline Buckendorf regarding the fact that the
