Abstract
The 1224 Punahou Street residence is significant at the local level, under National Register Criterion A and C. The house is eligible for the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for the association with the original complex of Shriners Hospital that was built on land donated to Shriners Hospital by the Dowsett Familly – one of the most prominent families in Hawaii. Architecturally, this house is of artistic value and is one of the few remaining examples of the authentic Spanish Revival Style that is associated with the now demolished Dowsett Mansion that was converted into the Shriners Hospital Building. The house is significant on the local level for the period of 1933 to 1956 when the residence was constructed and documented on Sanborn Maps as being part of the Shriners Hospital development.
