Address 207 Concordia Street, Honolulu HI 96813 TMK (1) 2-2-007:037 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9797 Abstract The Machado homestead consists of three Craftsman style Bungalows built on the slopes of Punchbowl, surrounded by avocado, mountain apple, plumeria and mango trees. Built from 1922 to circa 1930 by Henry Freitas, the houses are significant for their architecture and for their association with the early residential settlement of the Portuguese community in Honolulu. The single-wall homes sit on partial or full lava rock foundations with concrete steps leading up to an inset entry porch. They feature tongue-and-groove vertical board walls encircled by girts, paired one-over-one double-hung windows, and combination hip-and-gable roofs. The homes exemplify the popular Craftsman style through the use of decorative gable-ends and rafter tails, brackets, lava-rock piers, and decorative moldings. The homestead compound is surrounded by a low lava rock wall and sits next to the Punchbowl Holy Ghost Church. The houses in this area are mostly small cottages built close together, many have no fences, walls or plantings, indicating that many were built in a manner similar to the Machado's--for multi-family living. The Portuguese were noted as fine craftsmen and wall builders. The vast majority of the remaining older houses in this area were built in the Craftsman style but very few are as intact as the Machado homestead.

Address 2998 Pacific Heights Road, Honolulu HI 96813 TMK (1) 2-2-031:017 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9743 Abstract The George P. Castle Mountain Residence was constructed circa 1901 as a mountain retreat for the Castles, who maintained their primary residence in Waikiki. It is significant for its architecture and its association with the development of Pacific Heights as a residential community, reflecting the trend of many prominent families in Honolulu during the early 20th century to have a "second house in the mountains".  The house sits on a large sloping lot with three large lychee trees in the yard and a splendid view of the city and Diamond Head. The house is a two-story frame dwelling rendered in a Swiss Chalet style. It is characterized by its inset, ground floor lanai and its centered second story bay window with a flared gable roof flanked by heavily bracketed balconies. The main, outset, body of the house is symmetrical, but the house is assymetrical with a kitchen wing and a setback master bedroom wing. A lava rock chimney stands on the right side of the house. The first story has board-and-batten walls and the second story is shingled, while a small ogee curve straps ornament a band between the first and second stories.

Address 3030 Puiwa Lane, Honolulu HI 96817 TMK (1) 2-2-044:026 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9025 Abstract The Samuel A. and Laura S. Walker Residence was built in 1917 in Nu`uanu. It is a significant example of a bungalow style house constructed in Hawaii in years prior to 1920. The house is typical of its period in its use of materials, methods of construction, craftsmanship, and design. Typical features, such as battered lava rock piers, distinctive bracketing, shingled gable ends, and emphasis on horizontality, make it one of the earliest examples of a colonial bungalow to be found in Hawai`i. However, the lateral running gable roof, a less common bungalow roof form, and its colonial associations engendered by its Tuscan columns distinguish this bungalow from others of its period. This house is also significant for its associations with financier Samuel A. Walker and Judge Gerald Corbett, also known as the "Father of the Family Court System."

Address 247 Dowsett Avenue, Honolulu HI 96817 TMK (1) 2-2-045:005 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9842 Abstract The Richards/Goodale/Carter House was built in 1921 in Nu`uanu. It is significant as the best known example of a house associated with Catherine Jones Richards, a successful and renowned landscape architect of Hawai`i and the mailand. While there are numerous examples of her landscape work, this may be the only surviving work of her architectural design capabilities. The house is of further significance as a fine, intact example of a large Colonial Revival house that is enhanced by its setting in landscaped grounds, which exemplify kama`aina living in Hawai`i. The 1948 renovations done by Mark Potter have reached significance in their own right. The site is also significant for the auwai or early irrigation system located on the property.
