2329 Sonoma Street/ William H. Hoogs Jr. Residence

Address 2329 Sonoma Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:024 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9792 Abstract The Hoogs Residence is a single-story house, which sits on a large, sloping 15,000 square foot lot on the west side of Manoa valley with an unobstructed view of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean. The house with its front facing gables, built-in furniture, and use of lava rock and figure four bracketing relates closely with the bungalow tradition as it developed in the 1920's in Hawaii. However, it is larger than many bungalows and its U-plan places it above many more modest examples of the style. The design of the house well addresses Hawaii's climatic needs. The large double hung sash windows in the dining room's rear wall provide not only magnificent vistas of Diamond Head, but also allow ample air flow through the house, especially when combined with the living room's two, large, double hung sash front windows.

2440 Ferdinand Avenue/ Cockburn Residence

Address 2440 Ferdinand Avenue, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:029 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9806 Abstract The Cockburn Residence in Manoa was built in 1914 and then altered in 1921.  It is significant as a unique rendition of the Colonial Revival style of architecture and as a representative work of the architect William C. Furer.  Though symmetric in appearance from the front of the house as is typical of the Colonial Revival style, the floor plan displays an assymmetric layout and many Craftsman and Queen Anne Victorian details. While the architect of the original portion of the house is unknown, it is known that William C. Furer is the architect for the second floor addition on the wings and is responsible for incorporating the second floor into the overall massing and look of the house in 1921.  As such, this house is a representation of the work of a master architect.

2442 Sonoma Street/ Edward B. Loomis Residence

Address 2442 Sonoma St, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:039 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9012 Abstract The Edward Loomis Residence was built in 1926 on the West side of Manoa Valley.  It is significant as an example of a 1920s Colonial Revival style house as well as for its association with Dr. Edwin K. Chung-Hoon, one of the first Hawaiians to obtain a medical degree and a renown authority on Hansen's disease.  The house’s balanced, rectangular profile and a lanai with prominent Doric columns stylistically relate to the Colonial Revival style.  However, the house’s asymmetrical façade, sliding doorways, and open floor plan is at a variance with traditional Colonial Revival forms, but very much in keeping with the 1920s architectural response to Hawaii’s environment. The design of the house well addresses Hawaii’s climatic needs. The capacious lanai allows for an outdoor living space, while its various pocket doors not only enhance ventilation but encourage indoor-outdoor relationships.

2326 Sonoma Street/ Theodore & Rose Vierra Residence

Address 2326 Sonoma Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:049 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9036 Abstract The Theodore and Rose Vierra Residence was built in 1947 on the west side of Manoa Valley.  It is significant as an example of a modern style house contructed in Hawaii in the later 1940s-early 1950s.  It is also significant for its associations with its architect and owner, Ted Vierra, one of the earliest known architect of native Hawaiian ancestry to practice in Hawaii.  The marked simplicity, flow, and clean design of the Vierra residence clearly reflect the work of a skilled hand.  Well laid out, it provides a dynamic and engaging spatial variety in an economic, modern manner.  The flowing public spaces on the ground floor couple with its front terrace and lanai to offer a concise dialogue between indoors and out, which is further enhanced by the second floor bedroom's cantilevered balcony.  The living room's open beam ceiling, the entry hall's acid stained concrete floor, and the stair's simple wrought iron railing contribute small details which raise the house further above the ordinary.

2446 Sonoma Street/ Allen R. Johnson Residence

Address 2446 Sonoma St Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:051 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9004 Abstract The Allen R. Johnson Residence sits on a flag lot on the western slope of Manoa valley.  Its modest lava rock garage has a corrugated metal, flat roof and is built into the hillside, fronting on Sonoma Street. Eighty four steps, primarily lava rock, but also of concrete and wood, lead up to the Japanese style residence. The Johnson residence and its neighbor, the Thomas Perkins residence, were both designed and constructed in 1938 following Japanese precepts and elements. The two houses were designed by their owners, the architects Allen Johnson and Thomas Perkins, as their individual residences. The Johnson residence stands as an excellent example of the architect’s meticulously clean line design and attention to detail, and his infatuation with opening residential design to the natural beauty of Hawaii.  It is also a rare surviving example of a house built in a Japanese mode in Hawaii during the 1930s for a non-Japanese owner.  The Pan-Pacific movement, with its origins in the pre-World War I period, emphasized Hawaii as the “Cross-Roads of the Pacific,” where East met West in a harmonious manner.

It is not the official list of properties designated on the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places.
