The W. E. Jefferson House in Boise, Idaho, is a 1+12-story Queen Anne, Shingle style cottage designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in 1907 in Boise's Hyde Park neighborhood. The house features front, right, and left gabled dormers and a cross-facade porch supported by square coffered posts. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982.[2]

William and Mary Jefferson purchased property for the house in 1906 from Charles Paynton, whose house in the next block on N 8th St. also was designed by Tourtellotte (1900) and also is listed on the NRHP.[3] The Jeffersons built a garage on the lot in 1921,[4] and they advertised the house as a rental property in 1925.[5]

William Jefferson worked as a carpenter for Anton Goreczky at the Boise Sash and Door Factory.[2] The Goreczky house also is listed on the NRHP.
