Description and history
editJulian Ricketts homesteaded the property in 1911 and in 1927 began plans for the lava rock home with his wife, enlisting carpenter Maurice Wullf who in turn had plans drawn up by a professional at the Payette Lumber Company of Boise, Idaho. Master stonemason H.T. Pugh built the lower story of locally sourced stone. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1983, as part of the Lava Rock Structures in South Central Idaho Thematic Resource.[3][4]
