Alexanders is a two-story, Second Renaissance Revival style commercial building designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel and constructed in Boise, Idaho, in 1924.[2] The brick building is clad in white terracotta.[3]

Alexanders was a men's clothing store chain begun in 1891 by Moses Alexander. After construction, the building at 826 Main Street contained Alexanders' flagship store, although Alexanders had operated a store prior to 1924 at the same corner.[4]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
