Abstract
Constructed in 1959, the Mason residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C, as a good example of a house built in Honolulu during the 1950s in a modern style. The house includes a number of distinctive features and is typical of its period in its design, materials, workmanship and methods of construction. It is the work of a master having been designed by Vladimir Ossipoff, and possesses high artistic values. The single-story, modern style house sits on a concrete slab foundation, and has an irregular L-shaped floor plan. Its walls are vertical, 8” wide, redwood, tongue and groove boards, and its low pitched, intersecting, decra-mastic galvanized aluminum, gable roofs have open, overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails. The Mason residence stands as an excellent example of modern style residential architecture in Hawaii and especially Ossipoff’s residential work.
