Boarding House - Potlatch, ID - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Historically known as the Green Boarding House, this structure was one of sev- eral boarding houses in Potlatch, and it is significant as the most intact representative of this type of group housing. In 1910 there were at least five boarding houses in town, and in 1928 at least four. The lumber company forbid unmarried men from renting houses in town. In this way it encouraged matrimony, believing married men made for a more dependable work force. Unmarried men either subletted from families in Potlatch, or more likely, lived in one of the boarding houses." (visit link)
