Address 3239 Pali Highway, Honolulu, HI 96817 TMK (1) 2-2-045:040 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9048 Abstract The Louis F. and Majorie Booth Stephens residence, located on the Pali Highway, was built in 1926. It is significant as an example of a colonial bungalow style house constructed in Hawaii during the 1920's. The well articulated pedimented portico with its columns, modilions and the diminuitive window in its pediment place a strong colonial imprint on this symmetric composition. The paneled walls and ceilings of the spacious living/dining room further reinforce this colonial sensibility. At the same time, the house's horizontality, bracketed, clipped gable roof, lava rock foundation, and side bay windows and rear wings, all place the residence within the larger bungalow tradition. Combining the two most popular residential styles of the time, the Stephens residence well reflects its period.

Address 1802 Keeaumoku Street, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-4-025:002 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9028 Abstract The Ernest R. Cameron House, built between 1923 and 1924, is located in the Makiki residential district of Honolulu. The house features an irregular "L" shaped plan originally constructed as a single story structure; a partial second floor with five bedrooms was added above the mauka (east) wing in 1931. The Ernest R. Cameron House is significant as the work of a master: Honolulu architects Herbert Cayton Cohen (1923) and Robert G. Miller (1931 addition). The Ernest R. Cameron House is typical of homes built for upper middle class Honolulu families which emulated mainland styles while including features necessary for comfortable living in a tropical climate. The home is also significant for its association with the development of the emerging residential area of Makiki during the early 1920s which was spurred by the development of streetcar lines to suburban Honolulu neighborhoods.
