Inside the Smith Block Building’s New Chapter in Downtown Boise and It’s Available to Lease!
In downtown Boise, where older brick buildings sit beside newer construction, the Smith Block Building at 1015 W Main Street has reemerged with a second-floor office suite that feels more like a carefully preserved piece of the city than a typical office listing.
With 12 private offices, the layout is especially well suited for firms that need a balance of privacy, professionalism, and client-facing appeal. CPA firms, law firms, financial advisors, insurance agencies, property management companies, engineering firms, architecture firms, marketing agencies, recruiting firms, business consultants, wealth management firms, and medical administrative offices will find a space that supports focused work, client meetings, and team collaboration.

A Brief History of the Smith Block Building
The Smith Block Building is part of downtown Boise’s Lower Main Street Commercial Historic District, an area made up of masonry commercial buildings constructed as Boise was growing into a more established metropolitan center in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Built in 1905, the two-story brick and stone Smith Block was constructed for Roscoe Smith, a Mountain Home pharmacist who was also connected to Boise’s early hotel and commercial development. More than a century later, the building continues that commercial legacy, now reintroduced as a remodeled downtown office space that preserves its historic presence while adapting to the needs of modern professional firms.
A Downtown Boise Office With Real Character
The building’s early 20th century presence gives the office a sense of permanence and credibility, while the 2025 remodel introduces the comfort, finish quality, and functionality today’s businesses expect. The result is an office that does not feel like a standard suite. It feels curated, intentional, and highly memorable.
The Smith Block Building is a remodeled historic office property in downtown Boise, offering a second-floor suite designed around private offices, client meetings, and professional service work.
Suite 200 totals 3,573 square feet and was remodeled in 2025. The suite includes 12 private offices, a large conference room overlooking Main Street, a breakroom, private bathrooms, and an open collaboration area.

12 Private Offices Designed for Professional Service Firms
The defining feature of this space is its 12 private offices. That configuration makes it particularly valuable for businesses where confidentiality, concentration, and one-on-one client interaction are part of the daily workflow.
This is not a wide-open creative shell that needs to be heavily reworked. It is a thoughtful private-office environment that can support principals, advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, project managers, or administrative professionals in a polished downtown setting.
A Heart-of-Downtown Boise Location
Located on Main Street in downtown Boise, the Smith Block Building places tenants in the center of one of the city’s most walkable and recognizable business districts.
For professional firms, that central location offers several practical advantages. Clients can meet in a familiar downtown setting. Employees have convenient access to restaurants, coffee, services, civic institutions, and nearby business amenities. The surrounding historic district also gives the office a more distinctive sense of identity than a typical suburban office park.
Downtown Boise continues to be a preferred location for companies that value visibility, accessibility, and an energetic business environment.
