Eagle’s Historic Home Heads to Sale | Boise News

Eagle’s historic Orville Jackson House, hailed as the city’s most important building, is poised for sale — with the urban renewal agency offering $1.6 million to preserve its facade while unlocking downtown development potential. The city council approved a letter of intent with a critical condition: a historic facade easement to protect the home’s exterior. The deal, backed by an appraisal and land value, could recoup part of the $2.1 million originally spent to save the landmark. Plans include a future roadway connection and a developer’s vision for restaurant parking and walkable streets. While the agency aims to close the sale within two months, concerns linger over back-road development. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
