Address 1802 Keeaumoku Street, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-4-025:002 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9028 Abstract The Ernest R. Cameron House, built between 1923 and 1924, is located in the Makiki residential district of Honolulu. The house features an irregular "L" shaped plan originally constructed as a single story structure; a partial second floor with five bedrooms was added above the mauka (east) wing in 1931. The Ernest R. Cameron House is significant as the work of a master: Honolulu architects Herbert Cayton Cohen (1923) and Robert G. Miller (1931 addition). The Ernest R. Cameron House is typical of homes built for upper middle class Honolulu families which emulated mainland styles while including features necessary for comfortable living in a tropical climate. The home is also significant for its association with the development of the emerging residential area of Makiki during the early 1920s which was spurred by the development of streetcar lines to suburban Honolulu neighborhoods.

Address 1519 Oneele Place, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-001:021 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9039 Abstract The Mervin Williams Residence was built in 1937 on a hillside lot overlooking Honolulu. The house is significant for its architecture as an excellent example of a late 1930s Hawaii residence designed in the modern style. It was the work of architectural firm Dahl & Conrad and contractor/builder James Miyaki. The architects were one of the major firms, along with Claude Stiehl and Albert Ely Ives, responsible for introducing the modern vocabulary into Hawaiian residential design in the 1930s. Their residential work is characterized by the use of flat or low-pitched hipped roofs, flowing interior spaces, sliding doors, banks of windows, including corner windows, minimal applied ornamentation, and a strong horizontal profile.

Address 1955 Makiki Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-001:043 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9031 Abstract The John and Ruth Steffee Residence is a modest, single-story cottage built in Makiki in 1938. It is rendered in a contemporary "Hawaiian" style of the period. The broad hip roof with its overhanging eaves, post and pier foundation, and screened front lanai well address Hawai`i's climatic conditions as does the extensive use of sliding windows and the cross ventilation of all rooms. The presence of ohia, a Hawaiian hardwood that was milled at the time on the island of Hawai`i, as flooring reflects the conscious use of local materials to celebrate a building's sense of place. The use of Asian fretwork to support the lanai screening further reflected the ideals of Hawai`i's society of the period with its strong emphasis on the harmonious meeting of East and West in the Islands, the "Cross-Roads of the Pacific." Similarly, the house well reflects its period in its use of elements associated with the modern movement.

Address 1947 Judd Hillside Road, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-004:007 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9772 Abstract The John and Eleanor Freitas House was built in 1932 on the slopes of the Judd Hillside neighborhood in lower Manoa Valley. The parcel sits above an old quarry site. The house is significant for its architecture as an example of Hart Wood's residential work.

This home exemplifies Wood's characteristic use of exposed truss ceilings, ornamental metal work, and shingled roofs. It has board-and-batten walls and a tall, double-pitched roof. All windows originally were six-over-six double-hung. The contractor was Y. Kobayashi and Sons. The sloping lot was extensively terraced, and the original landscape was designed by Catherine Jones Richards and Robert Oliver Thompson, who were noted for their work during the 1920s & 1930s. John and Eleanor Freitas built their residence as their retirement home and occupied it for forty years until their deaths.
