The original Whitney School building was a two-story, red-brick building.  It was annexed into the Boise School District in 1923.  That building burned to the ground in 1924. 

In 1925, a new Whitney Elementary was built to serve students from the West Bench area.  Two more additions were added, in 1936 and 1946, to complete the building that would stand until 2009.
