It includes the Billings Memorial Gymnasium (1929), which was designed by Boise architects Tourtellotte & Hummel in Classical Revival style.
Hooker Hall is, architecturally, the "most pretentious" of the buildings; plans were afoot in 1979 for it to become home of something.[3] In fact in 2019 it is the home of the Snake River Heritage Center and/or the Weiser Museum.[2]
