Address 121 Ragsdale Place, Honolulu, HI 96817 TMK (1) 2-2-051:007 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8159 Abstract The Lord Residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a large, craftsman style house built in Honolulu during the 1920s.  The residence is also significant under criterion A for its associations with the development of the Dowsett Highlands tract.  In Hawaii the craftsman style is most frequently associated with modest-scale, bungalow style houses.  The Lord residence , however, is on a larger scale than most cratsman houses in Hawaii, and incorporates certain low-key Spanish mission elements.  The house is also architecturally significant as a good example of a residence designed by the Honolulu firm of Emory & Webb.

Address 3030 Noela Drive, Honolulu, HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-028:020 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8157 Abstract The Ho residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a house built in Honolulu during the 1940s in a modern style, which expanded its living area in the 1960s by enclosing the rear lanai.  Its unadorned, clean horizontal lines, the house's low profile and use of glass block windows as well as a picture window all bespeak the style.  The employment of an Asian wood screen as well as the design of the wrought iron railings, further attest to the house's island situation and the Chinese ancestry of the owner.  The Ho's were the first family of Asian descent to acquire land in the subdivision.

Address 808 10th Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816 TMK (1) 3-2-021:001 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8154 Abstract The Chun residence meets the register Criterion A and C.  The Chun 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.  Architecturally, this house is of artistic value and is one of the few remaining examples of the Craftsman style homes that existed in this area. It holds distinctive characteristics of a type, period and method of construction.  This house is significant on the local level for the period of 1925 and 1926 when the lot was purchased and the residence was constructed.

Address 517 Analu Street, Honolulu, HI 96817 TMK (1) 1-8-016:028 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8153 Abstract The Ching Residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C, as an excellent example of a modern style house bult in Honolulu during the late1950s.  The house is typical of its period in the use of such materials as concrete block, 1" x 8" redwood tongue and groove, stained concrete floors, and in such recently introduced design features such as the open relationship between the kitchen and dining room, the indirect lighting in the living and dining rooms, the cabinets touch latch opening mechanisms, and its carport.  The house is also architecturally significant as the work of a master, Honolulu architect Clifford F. Young.  He practiced architecture in Hawaii from 1953 to 1982, with McAuliffe & Young, Young & Henderson, and on his own.
