Abstract
The Paul and Fanetta Loomis Residence was constructed in 1924 by an unknown architect. The single story, single wall, colonial revival style cottage has a composition shingled hip roof with overhanging, open eaves and exposed rafter tails. The 30’ x 32’, roughly rectangular shaped, two-bedroom house sits on a post and pier foundation with a square lattice apron and its walls have double-lap rustic, beveled siding. The house is characterized by a modest, centered portico with a broken pediment supported by Tuscan columns. The Loomis Residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C, as a good example of a colonial revival style cottage built in Honolulu during the 1920s. The house is also significant under Criterion A for its associations with the development of the College Hills Tract.
