Placerville, Atlanta, Idaho City; some of the oldest towns in Idaho. Each was formed from ambitions and rich desires to find fortune and reward from the earth.

Today each of these towns persist. A diverse mix of historical minded preservationists and weekend outdoors people seeking their own contemporary returns.

Locations which offer reward as respite from a busy and, at times, confusing world. Buildings and communities in which social distancing has been present all along.

Places of purpose-built structures, many fashioned by current and previous owners working as builder and designer. These buildings wear their histories; are marked by their actual use.
