The Skattaboe Block is a historic building in Moscow, Idaho. It was built by Taylor & Lauder for the Moscow Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1892.[2] It was owned by the Inland Telephone Company from 1925 to 1952, when it was purchased by the General Telephone Company.[2] It currently houses New Saint Andrews College.[3]

The building was designed in the Romanesque Revival architectural style.[2] Due to a fire in 1966 the building was renovated in 1978, but the original design of the building has been preserved.[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 22, 1978.[1]
