The H.E. McElroy House in Boise, Idaho, USA, was designed by John E. Tourtellotte and constructed in 1901 in a neighborhood now designated the Fort Street Historic District. The brick veneer, 1+1⁄2-story Colonial design features a rectangular, symmetrical facade with a ridgebeam parallel to the street and an entry porch supported by Doric columns above flared, shingled walls. Dormers and gables are covered with square-cut and fish-scale shingles.[2]

Hugh E. McElroy was a Boise attorney who helped to organize Idaho's Progressive Party.[3] McElroy ran for governor as a Progressive candidate in 1914, but he lost the election to Democrat Moses Alexander.[4]
