Almon W. and Dr. Mary E. Spaulding Ranch

The Almon W. and Dr. Mary E. Spaulding Ranch is a 20 acres (8.1 ha) farmstead, originally an 80 acres (32 ha) homestead, in Boise, Idaho. The site is named for the Spauldings, who moved from Los Angeles to Boise in 1890 and applied for a homestead in 1893. The Spauldings occupied the site in 1896, constructing the main house in 1905 and the barn in 1910. After Dr. Spaulding's death in 1919, Almon Spaulding continued to reside on the property until 1924.

The site was acquired by the City of Boise in 2016, and it is managed by Boise Parks and Recreation.

The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
