The centerpiece of the Idaho P.E.O. Chapter House is a Classical-Revival mansion, built in 1910 as a private home and remodeled in 1950 to serve as the Chapter House. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home has been carefully preserved, with updates such as energy-efficient windows that still showcase the original beveled glass—casting rainbows across the rooms on sunny days.
The main floor features an elegant living room that seats 40 for meetings—or up to 75 for afternoon tea—along with a TV/sitting room, dining room for 20, and a bright breakfast room where residents prepare their morning and evening meals. A modern kitchen provides space for staff-prepared lunches, while a private suite with bath and the manager’s office complete the floor. An outdoor ramp ensures easy access.
Upstairs, residents enjoy a common sitting room, a library/game room, and three private suites—each with its own bath and unique layout. Two suites open onto the balcony overlooking the front porch. Residents bring their own furnishings, creating a true sense of home.
Amenities include weekly housekeeping, laundry facilities, central heat with room controls, upstairs air conditioning, cable, Wi-Fi, and all utilities. Three meals are provided daily, with one prepared by our chef.
Just outside the kitchen, a large covered patio serves as a gathering space for summer lunches, chapter events, or casual evenings with root beer floats, card games, or a glass of wine.
The mansion remains one of Caldwell’s gems—both a beautiful historic landmark and a warm, welcoming home.
The Chapter House also features five unique standalone cottages plus a triplex, each built by a P.E.O. sister and lovingly donated to the Chapter House. Constructed between 1955 and 1989, these homes reflect a variety of one- and two-bedroom floorplans and architectural character.
Our cottages offer the perfect blend of comfort and character. They have full kitchens and washer/dryer hookups. You will find central heating and air in each one. Their unique layouts are rich with charm and history. Some even feature cozy gas fireplaces.
