Address 1548 Mokulua Dr., Kailua HI 96734 TMK (1) 4-3-003:091 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-11-9064 Abstract The Clarence Cooke Guest Beach House, built in 1929, is significant for its associations with the development of Lanikai, and as an example of a beach house constructed in the Hawaiian style of architecture during the 1920s and adapted to residential use in the postwar period.   It is also significant for its associations with Hawaii financier Clarence Hyde Cooke.  The Cooke beach house is one of the few remaining beach houses in Lanikai that stand as a reminder of the opening decade of the development of the area.  The house retains features from its initial construction in the 1920s, such as the board-and-batten walls, inset lanai, and double-pitched hipped roof.  But, it also shows architectural features from the 1950s, when it was remodeled into a modern residence, which have attained significance in their own right.  These include sliding doors, jalousie windows, canec ceiling panels, and vertical tongue-and-groove interior walls.

The Eichelberger Family Residence has local significance for its associations with the development of Lanikai as one of the first cottages built there and which, in its melding of stylistic elements during the first 36 years of existence, embodies the changes in the neighborhood as it developed to the community it is today. It is also significant for its associations with Harlod C. Eichelberger, one of Hawaii's prominent business and civic leaders  and Clarence Hyde Cooke, one of the Territory's prominent financiers.

- Address 1320 Aalapapa Drive, Kailua HI 96734 TMK (1) 4-3-004:064 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-11-9037 Abstract The Anderson/Rosof House was originally built in 1928 by Town & Country Homes, Ltd., as skilled worker housing on the Kahuku Sugar Plantation. It was moved to its present site at Lanikai in 1942.  The house is significant as an example of Hawaiian Plantation Style architecture. With its hipped roof, overhanging eaves, simple body massing, board-and-batten construction, and open floor plan, the house has character-defining features of the era. The house is further significant for its association with historical events. Plantation strikes of the 1940s resulted in the eviction of striking workers and their families and the selling of their homes, such as this one. The shortage of building materials during World War II and the residential development of Lanikai contributed to the moving of this house from Kahuku to Lanikai.
