Abstract
The Carr Residence is significant as a good example of a Colonial Revival style house built in Honolulu during the 1920s. Colonial Revival sought to follow the architecture of the Revolutionary War period which drew strongly upon Georgian architecture of Great Britain, but did not generally produce exact replicas of early buildings. The residences’ lateral running gable roof with gable returns, center portico supported by heavy modillions, entry door fan light, and white clapboard siding are all significant of the style. The Carr Residence is not a strict interpretation of the the style, having been adapted to its Hawaii situation. The house is also significant as a rare example of a house designed by Arthur Reynolds, who over the years maintained a periodic relationship with Hawaii.
