Abstract
Built in 1912, the John A. and Jean L. Johnson Bungalow is significant under Criteria A and C. Under Criterion C, it is a good example of a Craftsman Bungalow style house built in Honolulu during the second decade of the twentieth century. The residence conveys the spirit of the style in its workmanship, asymmetry, use of lava rocks, large gabled front and rear dormers, corner porch with front facing gable roof and figure four brackets. Distinctive features include a composition shingled lateral running roof with intersecting gables and open overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, a common Bungalow feature in Hawai‘i. Interior features such as the built-in China cabinet with leaded glass windows, box bay window, floor’s parquetry, built-in book cases and linen closets and the 6 x 1 double hung sash windows also exemplify the Craftsman style. The house is also significant under Criterion A for its associations with the development of Mānoa Valley and the College Hills Tract.
