TOUR SERIES #5: EXPLORE SOUTH BOISE VILLAGE
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD at 6:30 PM
Presented by Carrie Applegate, Director of Marketing at Hummel Architects
While you might have driven past this area countless times, you might not have paused to consider its rich history. Come along on this walking tour as we uncover the influence of the Oregon Trail, streetcars, and post-World War II urban sprawl on this neighborhood. We'll also examine its ongoing evolution, especially in addressing the housing demands of families and Boise State students. By looking at multiple buildings, including several on the National Register of Historic Places, this tour will illuminate the significance of South Boise within the broader context of the City.
Carrie Applegate, a fourth-generation Idahoan and lifelong Boise resident, serves as the Director of Marketing at Hummel Architects. In this role, she oversees the firm's collection of architectural drawings, plans, and renderings, offering her invaluable primary source research into the firm's historic buildings spanning 128 years. A graduate of Boise State University’s College of Business, Carrie has navigated diverse career paths, from Theatre Arts to Public Involvement for Transportation Engineering, before finding her niche in Architecture Marketing. A docent for Preservation Idaho's Walkabout Boise tours, she is excited to lead this ArchWalk tour of her childhood stomping grounds. Additionally, as an embroidery artist, Carrie's piece, "Ribbon of Jewels," is set to adorn the traffic box at the intersection of Capitol Boulevard and Julia Davis Drive.
