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 2765 Pacific Heights Road, Honolulu, HI 96813 TMK (1) 2-2-023:025 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-7394 Abstract The Henry F. and Florence E. Davis residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C as a good example of a 1920s bungalow with a pavilion plan.  This two-story house , with its second floor underneath the main floor, follows the topography of the lot, and was constructed in 1927.  While its style and such materials as the clapboard siding, lava rock foundation, and use of sliding and double hung windows are typical of its period it has several distinctive features.  The pavilion floor plan may be found in other bungalows in the city as may balcony lanai, but neither is that common, are rarely found in the same house.  The pavilion plan is ideal for Hawaii, allowing trade winds to freely flow through the core of the house and its wings, while the lanai used as a outdoor living space is one of the distinctive features of domestic design in Hawaii.

Address 3157 Hayden Street, Honolulu, HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-019:085 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8150 Abstract 3157 Hayden Street qualifies for the State Register of Historic Places Criterion C.  Under Criterion C, it embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction.  It is significant as an example of the Craftsman/Bungalow style embodying "Hawaiian Regional" influences.  Its simple, yet distinctive construction includes techniques and designs associated with functional, climate sensitive Bungalows constructed in Hawaii during this time period.  The Craftsman/Bungalow style emphasis on natural materials was well suited to Hawaii.  Construction methods blended with the landscape and features such as low, overhanging eaves and double hung windows allowed natural cooling, providing comfort in Hawaii's warm climate.

Address 3001 Diamond Head Road, Honolulu, HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-033:052 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8149 Abstract The 3001 Diamond Head residence meets the historic register Criterion A and C.  The residence has contributed to the broad patterns of development in the history of Hawaii due to its association with the Diamond Head Terrace Tract.  Architecturally, this house is of artistic value and reflects a style that was very popular in Hawaii the 1920s and 1930s.  It holds distinctive characteristics of a type, period and method of construction.  The residence is also significant under Criterion C as it is a good example of Spanish Mission Revival style constructed in Hawaii during the early to mid 1930s.  This cottage is recognizable as Spanish Revival style because of the white stucco exterior, rounded clay roof tiles, rounded arches repeated throughout and the one story rectangular floor plan.
