The Willis Mickle House in Boise, Idaho, is a 1+1⁄2-story Queen Anne cottage designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in 1898. The house features a prominent, left front facing gable with dormer that rises above a right front porch. The first floor outer walls are of random course Boise sandstone. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[2]

Willis and Marie (Keeffe) Mickle were married in 1898 and were original owners of the house,[3] which the Idaho Statesman described as "a pleasing and substantial innovation in Boise building."[4] Willis Mickle was superintendent of Capitol Electric Light, Motor and Gas Company,[2] and he had been the electrician of the Boise volunteer fire department.[5] The Mickles were active in local politics, and Marie Mickle served as clerk of elections for Boise Precinct No. 9.[6][7] By 1916 the couple had moved to Portland, Oregon.[8]
