Abstract
The Robert and Eleanor Sroat Residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a Hawaiian craftsman style house built in Honolulu in 1930. The Sroat residence with its prominent double pitched hipped roof, single wall construction, prominent front lanai, its U-shaped plan, and emphasis on cross ventilation, as well as its use of lava rock in the foundation and fireplace and chimney, well captures the Hawaiian style of architecture. The house is also significant as an example of the work of Armena Louise (Morse) Eller, the earliest known woman to work as an architect in Hawaii.
