The Henry W. and Ida Frost Dorman House is a two-story Neoclassical home in Caldwell, Idaho, at 114 Logan Street. It was built in 1910 by local builder Lem Harding. The Dorman family lived there from 1910 to 1919, when three doctors bought the house and turned it into Caldwell Sanitarium, a private hospital. The sanitarium closed in 1949, and the house was donated to the P.E.O. Sisterhood to be renovated as a chapter house or retirement home for members.

Ida Frost Dorman was born in 1871 in Idaho Territory, and Henry Dorman was born in 1865 in Illinois and moved to Idaho in 1883. Henry worked in mining, farming, and ranching. The Dorman Addition and Dorman Avenue in Caldwell are named after Henry. The Dormans married in 1893.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 2000.
