Address 2026 McKinley Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-019:019 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9794 Abstract The Pond/Clark/ Dempster House is a single-story dwelling located in the Manoa Valley district of Honolulu on lands that were sold by Oahu College (now Punahou School) in 1899 as the College Hills Tract. Constructed in 1927, the house is significant for its architecture and for its association with the early residential development of Honolulu.  Designed and built by developer Percy Pond, it exhibits strong Craftsman design influences typical of modest residences built during the first several decades of the twentieth century. 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.

Address 2119 Kaloa Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-020:040 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9852 Abstract The Thrum House was built between 1911 and 1914 in the College Hills development of Manoa Valley.  It is significant for its architecture, which is a unique blend of Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles.  The characteristics of the Craftsman style appear in the windows, tapered square columns on the front porch, and exposed rafters.  The Colonial Revival influence is shown in the cross-gambrel roof, a common feature of the Dutch Colonial style of architecture.

Address 2208 Hyde Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-022:020 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Potter Residence was constructed between 1927 and 1928 in lower Manoa Valley. It is significant as being part of suburban development in the College Hills area during the ealy part of the 20th century.  The residence is also noteworthy as an intact example of a Tudor Revival cottage in Hawaii, and represents the work of master architect Mark Potter.  Although this cottage is a simplified version lacking many of the decorative details typically associated with the style, its steeply pitched roof and dominant facade gables place this structure in the Tudor Revival family.  The residence has not undergone any major alterations and remains largely as originally built.  It thus possesses a high degree of historic integrity.
