Located at 1301 South Capitol Boulevard in Boise, ID is a popular local eatery, Papa Joe's. The unique design of the building tells its history as the former headquarters of the Boise District for the Civilian Conservation Corps.

The CCC operated from 1933 until 1942 and was the proud achievement of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his 'New Deal'. Nearly every State Park and the nearby cities all have physical evidence of the CCC's work.

Although little is known about the history of this building, it was likely constructed in 1933 before other CCC development in Boise began. Since then, it has served as a social gathering place, a few stores, and now a restaurant.

So go inside, admire the craftsmanship, and order yourself a bowl of pasta while you're at it.
