Address 209 Concordia Street, Honolulu HI 96813 TMK (1) 2-2-007:037-0003 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9797 Abstract The Machado homestead consists of three Craftsman style Bungalows built on the slopes of Punchbowl, surrounded by avocado, mountain apple, plumeria and mango trees. Built from 1922 to circa 1930 by Henry Freitas, the houses are significant for their architecture and for their association with the early residential settlement of the Portuguese community in Honolulu. The single-wall homes sit on partial or full lava rock foundations with concrete steps leading up to an inset entry porch. They feature tongue-and-groove vertical board walls encircled by girts, paired one-over-one double-hung windows, and combination hip-and-gable roofs. The homes exemplify the popular Craftsman style through the use of decorative gable-ends and rafter tails, brackets, lava-rock piers, and decorative moldings. The homestead compound is surrounded by a low lava rock wall and sits next to the Punchbowl Holy Ghost Church. The houses in this area are mostly small cottages built close together, many have no fences, walls or plantings, indicating that many were built in a manner similar to the Machado's--for multi-family living. The Portuguese were noted as fine craftsmen and wall builders. The vast majority of the remaining older houses in this area were built in the Craftman style but very few are as intact as the Machado homestead.

Address 2998 Pacific Heights Road, Honolulu HI 96813 TMK (1) 2-2-031:017 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9743 Abstract The George P. Castle Mountain Residence was constructed circa 1901 as a mountain retreat for the Castles, who maintained their primary residence in Waikiki. It is significant for its architecture and its association with the development of Pacific Heights as a residential community, reflecting the trend of many prominent families in Honolulu during the early 20th century to have a "second house in the mountains".  The house sits on a large sloping lot with three large lychee trees in the yard and a splendid view of the city and Diamond Head. The house is a two-story frame dwelling rendered in a Swiss Chalet style. It is characterized by its inset, ground floor lanai and its centered second story bay window with a flared gable roof flanked by heavily bracketed balconies. The main, outset, body of the house is symmetrical, but the house is assymetrical with a kitchen wing and a setback master bedroom wing. A lava rock chimney stands on the right side of the house. The first story has board-and-batten walls and the second story is shingled, while a small ogee curve straps ornament a band between the first and second stories.
