Abstract
The Clarence and Sue Thomas Residence, built in 1931, is significant at the local level under Criterion C as a Tudor Revival style house of the 1930s in Honolulu. The residence is architecturally significant as a house designed by renowned architect Hart Wood. Typical of the style are its half-timbered gable end and asymmetric massing. The front door’s thumb latch and the interior’s open beam ceiling in the living room and board and batten walls convey the Tudor spirit and are also associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. The house is noteworthy as well for its adaptation of the Tudor style to Hawai‘i’s climate with its strong emphasis on cross ventilation, handled by multi-pane double hung sash and casement windows.
