Abstract
Approved for Criterion A (Historical Events and Patterns) and Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering). The Koyanagi residence is typical of modern residential architecture in Hawaii of the early 1950s designed by a non-architect. Its unadorned, clean horizontal lines, the house’s low profile and use of glass block windows as well as a picture window all represent the style. Its use of concrete block in its construction is also typical of the immediate post-war period. Frank and Gladys Koyanagi were the second Asian family to erect a house in the Leahi Terrace area and one of the few original houses to still stand in the tract.
