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. Wood is recognized as one of the architects who helped to define the “Hawaiian" style of design in the first half of the 20th century. 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.

Address 2447 Makiki Heights Drive, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-008:002 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9750 Abstract The Cooke-Spalding Residence was built in 1925 on a large parcel on Makiki Height Drive, overlooking Makiki Valley. Significant for its architecture and its association with the social history of Honolulu, the home was one of the earliest in this area. It is a two-story Bungalow style house built by Alice Theodora Cooke and her husband Philip Edmunds Spalding on a large sloping property that is terraced into large lawn areas surrounded with lava rock retaining walls. Philip Spalding was a building contractor and may have designed the house and its accompanying cottage, which is attached to the garage. The home exemplifies the bungalow style built in Hawaii during the 1920s with deep lanais, overhanging eaves, easy access to outdoors, and good cross-ventilation. It has a rectangular plan, shingled walls, and gabled roof. The lanai originally had Doric columns, but was altered during a remodel of the ground floor by Vladimir Ossipoff in the 1950s.

Address 2345 Makiki Heights Drive, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-008:004 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9849 Abstract The Hugh G. Petersen, Jr. Residence, built circa 1950, is located in the hillside neighborhood of Makiki Heights. The house is an example of the contemporary Hawaiian Regional architectural style that emerged during the immediate post World War II period. The style was a variant of Modernism, which was infused with local adaptations that exploited Hawai`i's climate and unique cultural setting. The residence is one-story in height, asymmetrical in plan and arranged in a strongly linear fashion. The Petersen Residence reflects the skill with which its master architect, Vladimir Ossipoff, was able to infuse the prevailing contemporary architectural style with adaptations inspired by the local environment and cultural setting.

The house is significant for its architecture as an example of the Hawaiian Regional architecture that was prevalent in the 1920s and 1930s as it was transitioning to modern architecture. Typical of the “Hawaiian” style is the use of large fenestrations with casement windows, a generous lanai, the rough stucco finish, and a blurring of the boundary between exterior and interior spaces. The Modern movement is reflected in the simplicity of lines, less dominant roof, and simple, but exquisite details. The architect took ample consideration of the site, insuring adequate ventilation in this cool section of Honolulu and a fabulous view. The house has been attributed to Dickey because of his signature on an old drawing that has been handed down from owner to owner. However, there are no known newspaper articles or original construction plans as absolute proof.

Address 125 Kalaiopua Place, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-014:011 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9097 Abstract The James B. Mann House, built in 1954, is significant for its association with the development of the Tantalus area as a mountain retreat and residential district during the 20th century. This house is also significant as the work of master architect Albert Ely Ives whose prolific and renowned residential commissions during the 1950's elevated him to prominance among his colleagues. The James B. Mann House is superior in its synthesis of Japanese influence and Hawaiian regional design by virtue to its use of local materials. This emphasis on local materials is an important marker for Hawaiian regional design, and the Mann House is the best known example of this characteristic in Ives' residential work.
