It was designed by local architect William S. Campbell, who picked the French-chateau style after visiting every modern hotel between Boise and New York. It quickly became &#8220;the&#8221; hotel in Boise.<\/p>\n<p>The castle-like style of Campbell\u2019s building was enormously popular for hotels especially in Canada where the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. had been building chateau-style hotels since 1893 when it opened the world-famous Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.<\/p>\n<p>The Idanha is a much more modest example of the castle style, notable for round corner towers with conical caps. Boise in the early 20th century had several such towered buildings, including those at the other three corners of Tenth and Main, before urban renewal demolished the two south of Main Street \u2013 bet they wish now that didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p> Idanha took its name from a once-famous tourist hotel in Soda Springs built by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1887. That hotel served as a dining stop for passengers and was luxurious for its day with electric lights and piped natural gas for heating.  It was destroyed by fire 07 June 1921.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypta.co.za\/category\/images\/\">More Pretoria Images<\/a><\/p>\n<p><small>This <em>Union Buildings<\/em> image was automatically curated and published with <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Robot<\/a> plugin \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to learn more about <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Robot for WordPress<\/a> \u2013 a massive time and money saver.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read, Republish and Submit Press Releases to MyPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This #Union Buildings tagged image is courtesy of Flickr.
