The State of Idaho has been without an official governor's residence since 2013.

Pierce House, in Boise's North End at 1805 N. 21st Street, served that role from 1947 to 1989. From 2009 until 2013, the former home of billionaire agribusiness magnate J. R. Simplot (1909–2008) and his wife Esther Simplot, served as the governor's official residence, although the house remained unoccupied; during this period, it was officially known as Idaho House.

Citing upkeep costs, the state returned the house to the Simplot family in 2013; it was demolished in January 2016, although its substantial flagpole remains.
