Abstract
The Henry F. and Florence E. Davis residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C as a good example of a 1920s bungalow with a pavilion plan. This two-story house , with its second floor underneath the main floor, follows the topography of the lot, and was constructed in 1927. While its style and such materials as the clapboard siding, lava rock foundation, and use of sliding and double hung windows are typical of its period it has several distinctive features. The pavilion floor plan may be found in other bungalows in the city as may balcony lanai, but neither is that common, are rarely found in the same house. The pavilion plan is ideal for Hawaii, allowing trade winds to freely flow through the core of the house and its wings, while the lanai used as a outdoor living space is one of the distinctive features of domestic design in Hawaii.
