<P> Construction of the first portion of the capitol building began in the summer of 1905 , 15 years after Idaho gained statehood . Architects were John E. Tourtellotte and Charles Hummel . Tourtellotte was a Connecticut native whose career began in Massachusetts and skyrocketed further when he moved to Boise . Hummel was a German immigrant who partnered with Tourtellotte in 1903 . The final cost of the building was just over $2 million ; it was completed in 1920 . The architects used varied materials to construct the building and their design was inspired by Classical examples . </P>
