Abstract
The Ching Residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C, as an excellent example of a modern style house bult in Honolulu during the late1950s. The house is typical of its period in the use of such materials as concrete block, 1″ x 8″ redwood tongue and groove, stained concrete floors, and in such recently introduced design features such as the open relationship between the kitchen and dining room, the indirect lighting in the living and dining rooms, the cabinets touch latch opening mechanisms, and its carport. The house is also architecturally significant as the work of a master, Honolulu architect Clifford F. Young. He practiced architecture in Hawaii from 1953 to 1982, with McAuliffe & Young, Young & Henderson, and on his own.
