Address 2207 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:020 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Morris Residence, built by Ray Morris in 1930, is situated on a unique street in the College Hill District of Manoa Valley. Mohala Way was at one time a lane that serviced the larger homes below on Liloa Rise and Kamehameha Avenue. It has not changed much over the years.  There are no sidewalks on the street, and while traffic moves in other directions, there is little room for cars to pass each other.  The Morris Residence is a non-conforming building that is uniquely set on a 2,165 square foot lot. The house is a double-walled wooden structure with a foundation of lava rock that has a concrete cap.  Many decorative motifs such as curved braces, exposed rafter tails and wooden arabesques on the carport gable and over the front entry, clearly set the style of the residence in the Craftsman tradition.

Address 2211 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:021 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9781 Abstract The Sayers House, built in 1930, is significant as a representative example of the Hawaiian style of architecture and the work of the architect Raymond Morris.  While working for many years for the building supply company of Lewers and Cooke, Morris influenced the landscape of middle class homes in Hawaii during the 1920s and 1930s.  The Sayers House, with its large sliding windows for cross ventilation, the glazing along the east walls to enjoy the views of Diamond Head and Manoa Valley, the great detail seen in the millwork, the steep double-pitched hip roof and the wide eaves are characteristics of the Hawaiian style of architecture which Ray Morris helped to develop This list of Hawaii’s historic properties is provided as a public service by Historic Hawaii Foundation.

Address 2243 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:023 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Ida Macdonald residence was built in 1926 in the College Hills Tract of Manoa.  It is significant as being part of the second period of intensive residential development in the area when larger properties were halved or quartered to offer more space for housing.  The Ida Macdonald Residence is also significant as an example of a Craftsman style house built in the early 20th century.  It is a three story, wood-framed, rectilinear Craftsman Bungalow with Dutch Colonial elements. These elements include a gabled roof and an elongated and sloping roof line on the north and east sides of the dwelling. The striking roof design, an elongated, steep gable with a flared end, shades an expansive lanai that merges the Craftsman concept of flow from indoors to outdoors with the Hawaiian Vernacular ideal and locality.

Address 2219 Armstrong Street/2251 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:024 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9843 Abstract The Davis Residence, built in 1921, sits on an 11,000 square foot lot that slopes rather steeply downward from Mohala Way towards Armstrong Street. The residence is not a high style house; one which contains clearly defining architectural elements that facilitate the categorization of the house into a distinct style but rather, it is representative of a modest Vernacular Craftsman Bungalow.  The house maintains elements common to bungalows such as the horizontal emphasis, one story height, clapboard cladding, flared walls, exposed eave rafters, gently pitched roof and windows with rectangular multi-paned upper sashes over single lights. The house is characteristic of a higher end Lewers & Cooke type house designed for a family of moderate income.

Address 2387 Beckwith Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:029 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9038 Abstract The Stanley Ball Residence was built in 1922 in Manoa.  It is signifcant for its association with residential development in Manoa Valley, more specifically the College Hills Tract.  It is also significant as an example of a bungalow style house constructed in Hawaii in the early 1920s. The house with its porch's front facing gable, built-in furniture, pergola, use of lava rock, and figure four bracketing stylistically relates closely with the Bungalow tradition.  Its hipped roof places it in the genre of Bungalows primarily constructed in the 1910's in Hawaii, when hipped roofs were a favored Bungalow roof form.  Throughout most of the 1920's front facing gable roof Bungalows would come to the fore.  As such the Ball Residence stands at the cusp of this shift in Bungalow form in the islands.

Address 2330 Beckwith Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-007:006 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Steere Residence was built in 1908 and represents the first wave of buildings to be constructed in the exclusive College Hills Tract of Manoa Valley. The two-story, asymmetrical house is one of the earliest examples of the Craftsman Bungalow Style in the area. The interior of the house also reflects the Craftsman philosophy of an organic natural interaction with the living environment and its residents.  It is one of the only examples of the "airplane" variation of bungalow style to be featured in Manoa and features impressive views of Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean.  The house is a superb example of the high ideals of the original developers of the College Hills Tract.

Address 2318 Beckwith Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-007:008 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Miller Residence was built, circa 1929, in Manoa Valley.  This house is significant in that it reflects the history of a community, particularly the development of the College Hills subdivision.  It is also significant for its architecture as an example of a Tudor Revival cottage.  It has a steeply pitched, intersecting multiple gable roof.
