Abstract
The John C. Cook residence is significant as a very good and rare example of a late Queen Anne revival style house built in Hawaii during the early 1900s. Its asymmetric massing, wrap around porch, use of such varied materials as clapboard, cut shingle and shiplap siding, and its steep, irregular roof with prominent, protruding dormers and gables all reflect the Queen Anne revival style. Furthermore, the high, 12′ and 15′ ceilings, the emphasis on cross ventilation, and the size of the side lanai with its emphasis on outdoor living also places the house in an Hawaii context. The residence was constructed in 1907 by John C. Cook for himself.
