From the 1890’s into the 1950’s the North End was first a remote area of town then the main area of residential growth with developments like Brumback addition adding hundreds of homes and cottages to the grid layout north of State Street.

At the same time Harrison Boulevard began taking shape. Harrison Boulevard, one of Boise’s most picturesque thoroughfares, is named for President Benjamin Harrison, who signed the Admissions Act making Idaho a state. His visit in 1891 prompted the City Council and local landowner Jeremiah Brumback to rename 17th Street in honor of the 23rd president.
