The Intermountain Institute in Weiser, Idaho, also known as the Idaho Industrial Institute,[2] was a school which included facilities for students boarding there. Its complex of buildings are unusual in being constructed of continuously cast concrete during a span of about 20 years.[3]

The complex includes nine buildings and a structure which were deemed contributing in a National Register of Historic Places listing in 1979.[1]

It includes the Billings Memorial Gymnasium (1929), which was designed by Boise architects Tourtellotte & Hummel in Classical Revival style.

Hooker Hall is, architecturally, the "most pretentious" of the buildings; plans were afoot in 1979 for it to become home of something.[3] In fact in 2019 it is the home of the Snake River Heritage Center and/or the Weiser Museum.[2]
