"The armory and gymnasium at Moscow is architecturally significant as
the first of two early buildings designed by the firm for the young
University of Idaho and as a handsome example of academic eclectic
architecture. The second Tourtellotte and Hummel design, the 1907 administration building (National Register, February 14, 1978), is
one of the firm's major monuments. The armory and gymnasium is also an example of the compromises made by an eclectic architect to
the sometimes more conservative tastes of institutional clients. Further, it provides another example, on a larger scale than
the Mackay Episcopal Church (site 18) of the recycling of plans." (visit link)
