Abstract
The Ho residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a house built in Honolulu during the 1940s in a modern style, which expanded its living area in the 1960s by enclosing the rear lanai. Its unadorned, clean horizontal lines, the house’s low profile and use of glass block windows as well as a picture window all bespeak the style. The employment of an Asian wood screen as well as the design of the wrought iron railings, further attest to the house’s island situation and the Chinese ancestry of the owner. The Ho’s were the first family of Asian descent to acquire land in the subdivision.
