The Adolph Schreiber House is a 2-story, Neoclassical Revival house in Boise, Idaho designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel and constructed by contractor O.W. Allen in 1915.

Schreiber was in partnership with embalmer Edward Brennan, Schreiber & Brennan, from 1904 until 1906, and then he formed a partnership with William Sidenfaden, Schreiber & Sidenfaden, that lasted until 1925.
