The Alaska Center is a five floor office building located on Main Street in Boise. The original plan for John P. Tate's Alaska Building, as designed by J.E. Tourtellotte and Company, included two stories and a basement with a deck around the stores, making four sales floors. This design was built in 1906 with the additional two stories built in 1911. The original tenants included Link's Business College and Blake and Reilly. Later, Blake and Reilly changed the name of their store to the Cash Bazaar and by 1922 were leasing the entire building. The building's facade above ground level is composed of three stories of brick laid in imitation of Renaissance stone rustication. In 1953 the interior and the ground floor storefront were completely remodeled. The historical building was again restored in 1983 and 1984, preserving the rich, ornate architecture found in buildings of this period. The building includes a five story atrium, glass passenger elevator, oak banisters and brass trim, custom formed brass lamps, and oak and tile entry way.
