The house  sits on a small 9,377 square foot lot. It is located on the corner of Trousseau and Wela Streets; with three of the four houses having direct access to the road. There are three separate driveways and parking areas on the perimeter of the lot which leaves the center area between the houses open for lush vegetation and circuitous walking pathways. The character of the site is further enhanced by the fact that the houses are not identical although the house layouts and sizes vary, the construction details are very similar.

Address 3528 Campbell Avenue, Honolulu HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-015:053 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9819 Abstract The Martin House is a two-story wood-frame house built in Kapahulu in 1898 by Charles Martin. It has a square plan and steeply-pitched, intersecting gable roof, which is distinguished by a square tower extending vertically from the midpoint of the roof, at the intersection of the cross gables. The Martin House is significant for its association with Charles Martin, once dubbed the "Mayor of Kapahulu," and the Martin family, a pioneering family in the develpment of Kapahulu as a residential district. It is further significant architecturally as an unusual example of Midwest Rural Folk architecture set in Kapahulu -- the only house of its kind in Hawai`i.

Address 3115 Noela Drive, Honolulu HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-027:007 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9063 Abstract The Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Greaney and Mrs. Zadoc Brown Residence was built in 1948 on the lower slopes of Diamond Head.  It is significant not only as an example of a modern post-World War II home built in Hawaii, but also as the work of master architect Vladimir Ossipoff.  Constructed in a Modern style, this house exhibits characteristic features of Ossipoff's designs, including well handled spatial relationships, multiple indoor-outdoor relationships, and high attention to detail.  The house is typical of its period in the use of tongue and groove siding made of Northwest pine, large expanses of glass, sliding doors, superb carpentry, use of indirect lighting, and emphasis on sleek horizontal lines.

Address 3044 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-033:017 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9016 Abstract The Doctor Frank and Kathryn Plum Residence in Waikiki was built in 1929.  It is significant as an example of a Cotswold Cottage style residence constructed in Hawaii during the time period of the late 1920's and early 1930's.  The Plum Residence is one of approximately twenty such styled houses to remain in Honolulu.  It well reflects the style with its romantic asymmetric massing, and its use of such eclectic and picturesque elements as its skewed gable, front bay window, wrought iron mock-balconet in the round arched gable vent, canted walls with their wound arched doors, double pitched roof, and shed roof dormers.

Address 3022 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-033:020 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9773 Abstract The Egholm Residence was built in 1926 in the Diamond Head Terraces subdivision at the edge of Waikiki.  It is significant as one of the few examples of a small cottage in the Spanish Colonial Revival style popular in Hawaii in the 1920's and early 1930's.  The Spanish Colonial Revival style was thought to be suitable to Hawaii's semi-tropical climate, a climate similar to the Mediterranean.  The hipped red clay tile roof, stucco exterior and arcaded entrance are characteristic features of this style.  The Egholm Residence is further significant as an example of the work of notable architect and builder Carl William Winstedt.  Of the remaining known houses done by Winstedt, this house is the most intact.  The modest scale of this house is rare compared to the other palatial residences built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style during this time period in Hawaii.

Address 3004 Kiele Street, Honolulu, HI 96815 TMK 3-1-033-03-5000 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-09755 Abstract The Ketchum Residence is a Craftsman-style bungalow built in 1931 in the Diamond Head residential area of Honolulu, Hawai'i. It is significant for its architecture as an example of a Craftsman inspired house in Hawaii. The naturally-stained board and batten walls and use of heavy timbering are character-defining elements of the building's design. Also, the stepped facade breaks up the symmetry of the facade and contributes to the dwelling’s dynamic tension. In addition to these typical craftsman hallmarks, the house features the "Hawaiian" style, double-pitched hipped roof, which was very popular in the Islands during the late 1920's and early 1930's. This further accentuated the horizontal sense of the house, another typical Craftsman characteristic. The screened lanai and exterior bathroom door further fix its location near the beach, where a number of houses from this period featured such doors for use by beach goers.
