Abstract
The Cooper Apartment Building is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a masonry apartment building constructed in Waikiki in the 1030s in a tropical modern style. Its white masonry walls, low pitched hipped roof with overhanging eaves, large sliding windows with horizontal panes, and modest art deco-Asian decorative elements well bespeak the style, as does its stepped scalloped front wall and the courtyard fireplace’s chimney and chimney cap. The Cooper Apartments has been considered the best surviving example of a pre-war garden court apartment in Waikiki. The building was designed by the Honolulu architectural firm of Dahl & Conrad.
