The house is of single-wall wooden construction with weatherboard siding flaring out at the water table, and it rests on wooden and stone piers concealed behind wooden latticework. The  front yard is dominated by a large cedar tree and a clump of palms near the front entrance at the southeast corner of the house; while in the rear of the lot the house abuts a sheer rock face.

Address 1929 Kakela Drive, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-019:029 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9789 Abstract The Clarence H. Dyer House was built in 1928 in a residential neighborhood in lower Manoa Valley, near Punahou School. It is significant for its architecture as an example of the “Hawaiian" style of architecture popularized by architect Charles Dickey and the Lewers and Cooke Building department during the 1920s. The home's contractor was T. Takahashi. The single-story, wood-frame, post-and-pier house features such distinctive elements as a steep, double-pitched, hipped roof and wide, overhanging eaves covering a front porch. The exterior walls are clad with cedar shingles and lava-rock piers support the porch roof. The interior is distinguished by its open-beam cathedral ceiling and large screened wrap-around lanai, and Celotex sugarcane-fiber board walls and ceilings. There was originally a garage and maid's quarters on the property. Lewers and Cooke was known regionally as a supplier of building materials that actively  promoted the adoption of Dickey's "Hawaiian" Style.

Address 2107 Lanihuli Drive, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-020:012 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Abel Residence, built in 1930-31, is located in the College Hills development in Manoa.  It is significant as an example of early suburban development at the periphery of Honolulu during the first half of the 20th century.  It is also significant as a typical example of Craftsman style architecture.  The home possesses many Craftsman-style elements along with Plantation-style architecture which add a strong regional association.  It is especially evident in use of a lava rock foundation, multi-paned windows, and unique entrance.  Fixtures such as doorknobs, faucets, and lights which may have been replaced under normal conditions of continued use, have remained intact, further reinforcing the integrity of the house.  As a result, this house remains a prime example of the aesthetic tastes popular in Hawaii during the early part of the 20th century.

Address 2121 Lanihuli Drive, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-020:014 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Glazier Residence, located in the exclusive College Hills Tract of Manoa Valley near Punahou School, was constructed in 1927 in the Bungalow Craftsman style that was extremely predominant at the time. The house has retained the characteristics that define many of those in the College Hills Tract. It reflects the culture and tastes of its 1927 origin, particularly in the retention of the servant's area in the basement and the blue stone garage. The garage reflects the transition to automotive dependency in the early 20th century. Although the house itself is relatively modest, it is representative of a middle income family of the time and exemplifies the second wave of residents to populate the area.
