The Boulevard Mo-Tel, also known as the Capitol Auto Courts, is a Tudor Revival style motel constructed in Boise, Idaho, in 1938.^[2]

History

Capitol Boulevard opened in 1931 with construction of Capitol Boulevard Memorial Bridge, and the route was part of the Old Oregon Trail Highway. During the 1930s, drive-ins, motels, and gasoline stations were constructed on Capitol Boulevard, and in 1938 Capitol Auto Courts opened on the Boulevard. A postcard printed later indicates that the motel featured “21 nicely furnished units with full-tile baths. Central heating. Room telephones and radios. Near city center... TV and Refrigerated Air Conditioning.”^[3]

Ben H. Ellis owned the motel from 1938 until 1943, and the motel name was changed in the 1940s to Boulevard Mo-Tel. In 1994 the motel became the property of Boise Housing and Community Development,^[2] although 1997 is given by the city of Boise as the year of acquisition.^[4]
