James Castle. Does the name ring a bell? I get it. I will admit that I didn’t know who James Castle was when I walked into the beautiful, yet unassuming house at 5015 Eugene Street, in the Collister neighborhood of West Boise. It looks like any other house in the neighborhood, but within the walls of the modest single-story house, a fascinating life was lived. www.jamescastlehouse.org Read the newsletter: fromboise.com Join the BFFs: fromboise.com/bffs Send us your feedback online: https://pinecast.com/feedback/from-boise/69a44924-694e-4d7f-98d1-066470ccf17d | |||
