B. S. Varian House

The B. S. Varian House, at 241 Main St. in Weiser, Idaho, is an architect-designed house which was built in 1909. It was designed by John E. Tourtellotte and Company.

It is a large Bungalow-style house with both front-facing and cross gables. It is unusual for its size and for its shingle siding. The Idaho State Historical Society inventory of the house states: "The house is massive for a bungalow, with a thirty-six-by-fifty-four-foot perimeter and an additional cross gable which allows a full four bedrooms and a sleeping porch to be included under the low gabled roof of the upper half story."
