Abstract
Built in 1938, the Roscoe and Miriam Allen residence was constructed by an unknown architect but reflects modern design. The Allen Residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C, as a good example of a house built in Honolulu during the 1930s in a modern style. The front entry is characterized by a projecting trellis above a large picture window. The two story, modern style house sits on a concrete slab foundation, and has a rectangular footprint. Its first story walls are of reinforced concrete while the second story is of horizontal, redwood, tongue and groove boards, much of which has been covered in asbestos concrete shingles. It has a low pitched, composition shingled, hip roof with overhanging closed eaves. The eaves’ soffits are of tongue and groove.
