Abstract
The Lord Residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a large, craftsman style house built in Honolulu during the 1920s. The residence is also significant under criterion A for its associations with the development of the Dowsett Highlands tract. In Hawaii the craftsman style is most frequently associated with modest-scale, bungalow style houses. The Lord residence , however, is on a larger scale than most cratsman houses in Hawaii, and incorporates certain low-key Spanish mission elements. The house is also architecturally significant as a good example of a residence designed by the Honolulu firm of Emory & Webb.
