The property was purchased in 1936 and most of the improvements were completed by 1938. The residence has been in continuous use as a family beach cottage and has been in the same family since 1936. It was designed by architects Albert Ely Ives (1898 – 1966), and George Hogan (1914 – 2009) who was born and raised in Honolulu. There are seven contributing buildings: the main house, the sleeping house, two water storage tanks, a lauhala hale, and two outhouses.
