Abstract
The Riley Allen Residence was built in 1931 in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of Honolulu. The house is significant for its architecture as an example of a Spanish Mission Revival style house built in Hawaii during the 1920s and 1930s and for its association with Riley Allen, the prominent editor of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper. Designed by Robert Miller, who designed many buildings in this style, the house is a two-story masonry building that is characterized by its stucco walls, arcade and loggia, rear courtyard and well detailed interiors. It has a modified H floor plan, lacking one wing in the front, and having an additional, single story dining room wing off one side.
