Description	A view of the Round House restaurant, which opened about 1949 at the corner of Chrisway and College Boulevard (now University Drive). A popular hangout for Boise Junior College students in the 1950s, it featured a soda fountain and dining room. The building was expanded and became a private medical clinic in the 1960s and then the university's student health center in 1972, a function it fulfilled until the health services moved into the new Norco Building in 2009.
Bio/Historical note	The Round House restaurant was called the Boise Kwicurb Drive-in for part of the 1950s before reverting to its original name, though spelled as one word, Roundhouse.
