Address 2420 Burbank Street, Honolulu 96817 TMK (1) 1-8-006:022 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-08740 Abstract Approved for Criterion A (Historic Events and Patterns) and Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering).  The Owens residence has contributed to the broad patterns of development in the history of Hawaii during a time of tremendous growth of the outlying neighborhoods of Honolulu in the late 1920s as it is associated with the Burbank Tract Development and is one of the original homes on the Burbank Tract.  The home is also significant under Criterion C at the local level as an intact example of the craftsman style home and an example of a private dwelling designed by master architect Herbert Cohen.

Address 2428 Burbank Street, Honolulu 96817 TMK (1) 1-8-006:023 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-08741 Abstract Approved for Criterion A (Historical Events and Patterns) and Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering).  The Getz Residence was built in 1927 and is a Craftsman bungalow-style house typical of those built in the late 1920s.  The Getz Residence is also significant at the local level under Criterion A for its associations with the development of the Burbank Tract on which most of the houses on this street were built between the 1920s and 1930s and retain their original styles with only modest changes over the years.  While the individual houses have changed, taken collectively you can see much of the original architectural styles of middle class houses built in 1925 to 1935 in this part of Nuuanu.

Address 2536 Manoa Road, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-009:006 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-08205 Abstract The John C. Cook residence is significant as a very good and rare example of a late Queen Anne revival style house built in Hawaii during the early 1900s.  Its asymmetric massing, wrap around porch, use of such varied materials as clapboard, cut shingle and shiplap siding, and its steep, irregular roof with prominent, protruding dormers and gables all reflect the Queen Anne revival style.  Furthermore, the high, 12' and 15' ceilings, the emphasis on cross ventilation, and the size of the side lanai with its emphasis on outdoor living also places the house in an Hawaii context.  The residence was constructed in 1907 by John C. Cook for himself. This list of Hawaii’s historic properties is provided as a public service by Historic Hawaii Foundation.
