Abstract
The Edwards residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C, as a good example of a house built in Honolulu during the 1960s in a modern style. During the 1950s and 1960s a number of architect designed houses well exhibited a high sensitivity to the island environment as well as the precepts of the modern movement, with their clean lines, emphasis on indoor-outdoor relationships, and attention to detail. The Edwards residence is such a house, with its low profile, unadorned, clean horizontal lines, and open, flowing floor plan. The house is also noteworthy as an example of Honolulu architect Herbert Beyer’s residential work.
