The Axel Nixon House is a Queen Anne style cottage in the Fort Street Historic District in Boise, Idaho, USA. The house was designed by Tourtellotte & Co. and constructed in 1903. Features include a roof with flared eaves, flared dormers, and a small porch with Tuscan columns supported by low, flared walls below a decorative sunburst patterned gable.[2] The house has been altered since construction and now serves the community as home to St. John's Food Bank.[3]
Axel Nixon was chief drafter in the General Land Office at Boise.[4]
