Abstract
The 1210 Ward Avenue Office Building constructed in 1961 is a two-story plus penthouse commercial office building located in Honolulu. Prominent Honolulu architects Vladimir Ossipoff and Richard Dennis collaboratively designed and owned the building and had offices there. During their tenure, the firm elevated the style and architectural direction of the state making the building significant under Criterion A. The building is also significant under Criterion C as good example of Mid-Century Modern architecture of the period with design features that include the dramatic roof, central courtyard lanai, open stairs with breezeblock exterior walls, shading fins, and canted catwalk.
