I'm going to say ponderosa pine but you need to move around to the other side of the building and get a better picture for a more positive ID.
... unless you mean the one in the foreground, in which case it's a light post, not a tree.

I put 5 clumps of those in front of my new home 28-29 years ago. Pretty tree. I think they might have been called clump birch cause they had 3 trunks about the size of a 50 cent coin and when I finally had to remove them they were about the size of a coffee can. They have small leaves that turn yellow and then when they would fall off in the fall of the year I was always hopeing the wind would be coming from NNE cause normal wind in our area of n. Idaho is from the SSW and the leaves would blow off and land in my swimming pool behind the house and make a mess. Anyway their life span is 20-25 years before problems I think. Had to remove mine finally.

Most of our region is pure birch forest as far as your eyes can see. There are many forms and varieties (species delimitation is sometimes problematic) - some, especially the more notherly forms, are small, relatively short-lived and more prone to fungal infections, but some are big, stately trees that stay pretty and healthy for many decades. Many alleys in my hometown are lined with birch. It is a pretty tree with a nice light, lacy shade, plus there are many good edible mycorrhizal mushrooms growing under it (various boletes and brittlegills) and also there's a possibility to collect sap in the spring. Here, people often plant it on their properties on bogged spots, especially near vegetable gardens, because it draws excessive moisture away during the summer months, like willows and alder, but does not create as much shade. Pollen can be a problem, though, if you're allergic to it.

That's a good size birch. I think they are really cool trees, they do seem to rot faster than most others. I had to cut one down on my property last fall that was too big at the base to make one pass with a 24" bar on the saw. It was dead most of the way up and ready to fall on my deer blind in the next good wind.

At first glance one might think it’s white/paper Birch, but , it’s a Grey Birch. You might be right, hard for me to tell without seeing the leaves.
