Abstract
The William W. Beers House built in 1930 and located in Mānoa Valley, is significant under Criterion C as a Minimal Traditional Style dwelling with Craftsman influences. The residence is a one-and-one-half story, double wall construction with exterior finish of lapped, horizontal wood siding, fenestrated with six-over-six, eight-over-eight, and arched wood sash. The home features Craftsman-inspired decorative wood details, and period interior finishes include wood baseboards and moldings, wood floors, and single-panel doors. The residence is also Significant under Criterion A because it was constructed for the short-lived Lake Building Corporation, Ltd. (1929-1930) by contractor A.S. Cantin, and appears to have been designed by the company’s architect, Armena Louise Morse Eller (1895-1996), the first woman with a professional degree in the field who is known to have resided in the city and engaged in professional practice.
