Abstract
The Charles E. Meyer Residence built in 1951 and designed by architect Phillip Fisk, is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood in Mānoa. The Meyer Residence is significant under Criterion C for its Modern style, including the use of indirect lighting in the living rooms of the main and lower floors, the kitchen’s rectangular and square inset ceiling lights, horizontal panes in the downstairs’ living room’s door, use of extruded mortar joints in the driveway planter’s wall, and the cantilevered upper story. The house integrates many Hawai‘i-inspired elements including the lava rock fireplace, mail box post, and foundation; the lanai running across its façade; and the extensive use of double hung and sliding windows, canec ceilings and louvered doors.
