BOISE, Idaho When the restoration of the James Castle homesite in West Boise is complete, the house and grounds will look much like they did when Castle, Idaho’s celebrated self-taught artist, lived and worked there.
That was for nearly 50 years, between 1931 and 1977. The landscape surrounding the house, grown up with subdivisions, schools and churches, has changed considerably since Castle’s time, but the modest main house’s exterior will look as it did decades ago, offering a bit of instant time travel. The old wooden bunkhouse where Castle did much of his work will be there, too, as will the Cozy Cottage brand tiny house that became Castle’s home on the property in 1965.
