Abstract
The Hung Lum Chun Residence, which was built in 1919, is a Spanish Eclectic style home with a low-pitched roof, stucco walls, rounded tower, and an asymmetrical plan being the major signifier of style. Located in Alewa Heights, the home is prominently situated on a sloping lot midway up the hill. The Hung Lum Chun Residence is significant as a representative example of Spanish Eclectic architecture in Hawaii. It is also significant for its association with Dr. Min Hin Li and Mr. Hung Lum Chun, both were well-respected Chinese-American citizens who contributed to the rich history and development of the Chinese community in Honolulu.
