The Thomas Chivers House, on Challis Creek Rd. in Challis, Idaho, was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

It was assessed to be "the most elaborate, least altered, and best preserved two-story Queen Anne-style house in Challis."[2]

It is relatively large for Challis, and is a plain implementation of Queen Anne style with Colonial Revival influences. It is a frame house built of roughly finished lumber, upon a mortared rock foundation. It has window head moldings, eave returns, and enclosed eaves, as well as the only known stained glass in Challis.[2]
