The Bishop West Barn, on W. 2nd St. in Paris, Idaho, was built in the 1880s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]
It was associated with the leader ( bishop) of a Mormon congregation. Specifically, it was deemed "significant for its association in folk memory with a Bishop West, who came to Paris to serve as bishop of the Paris First Ward in 1883. Appropriate to West's position in the Paris community, his barn is a large example of the Paris barn type in a variant with one side lean-to. Log construction details common to Paris appear in this barn: hewn log timbers joined with half-dovetail notching and chinked with split poles and daub." [2]
