“Way too often when we hear about historic buildings, they point us to a mansion on Warm Springs Avenue or a huge house on Harrison Boulevard. We often leave out the working class, and Erma Hayman’s home is very representative of our working class.” – John Bertram
Boise’s Hayman House is a cultural and historic resource for exploring Boise’s historic and contemporary black and immigrant communities. I was part of a team that wrote the Cultural Site Plan for the Erma Hayman House. This plan illustrates potential site and landscape improvements, neighborhood connections and access, site-specific interpretive signage, and public art to add to the vitality and cultural life of the Boise’s River Street Neighborhood.
Note: This plan was written with two other team members: architect Cathy Sewell, and landscape architect Kim Siegenthaler. Our team name was Broad Approach.
