Address 2346 Liloa Rise, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:011 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Arthur L. Andrews Residence was built in 1913 in Manoa Valley.  Besides reflecting the development of a community, namely the College Hills subdivision, this structure is also significant for its high artistic and aesthetic value. The house showcases the artistry and whimsicalness of a designer/builder that liberally borrowed design elements and details from different styles to create a unique structure.  While the house has undergone a moderate amount of alteration, enough original material and design elements remain to imbue the house with a fairly high level of historic and architectural integrity.  The residence is also significant for its association with Arthur L. Andrews, an English professor, after whom Andrews Amphitheatre on the University of Hawaii campus is named.

Address 2336 Liloa Rise, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:012 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9823 Abstract The Bicknell Residence, built in 1911, is an early example of the Craftsman style that became extremely popular in Hawai`i.  Typical of the early Craftsman houses is the rectangular, hip roof with exposed rafters, lava rock foundation, wood shingle siding, asymmetric layout, and an exceptional attention to unique details which enhance the ideal superb craftsmanship.  The house is situated high on a large sloping lot in Manoa to capture the magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head.  This was part of the College Hill subdivision, one of the first major subdivisions whic turned lush Manoa Valley into the desirable neighborhood which it is today.  The Bicknell Residence is one of the few that remains on its original lot; many have been re-subdivided either in 1925 or during the 1950's.

Address 2141 Mohala Way (& 2312 Līloa Rise), Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:014 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Marques Residence, built in 1910, is located in the Manoa Valley community.  It is significant as a product of early twentieth century urban planning and expansion of an upper middle class suburban residential district. It is also significant as a representative example of a Prairie School style residence built in Hawaii in the early twentieth century.  This two story structure features a hipped roof that has a very slight double pitch, an attic dormer, decorative brackets along the cornice line located beneath enclosed eaves, and an open-style wrap around porch.  Although somewhat altered over time, the house retains most of its original materials and integrity.

Address 2146 Kamehameha Ave., Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:015 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9062 Abstract The Hermann & Johanna Rohrig Residence was built between 1919-1920 in the College Hills Tract in lower Manoa Valley.  It is significant as being part of urban growth and suburbanization that prompted a permanent shift from agricultural to residential use in the area.  Construction of such dwellings represented political control, economic success, and exclusivity of a small aristocracy in early 20th-century Hawaii.  The house is also significant for its architecture, which exhibits elements of the Craftsman and Prairie architectural movements popular during that time period in Hawaii.  Important elements include sloped basalt rock for supports, basalt front walls perpendicular to the entry steps, large front lanai, solid wood floors, built-in furniture, roof pitch, and tower.

Address 2207 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:020 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Morris Residence, built by Ray Morris in 1930, is situated on a unique street in the College Hill District of Manoa Valley. Mohala Way was at one time a lane that serviced the larger homes below on Liloa Rise and Kamehameha Avenue. It has not changed much over the years.  There are no sidewalks on the street, and while traffic moves in other directions, there is little room for cars to pass each other.  The Morris Residence is a non-conforming building that is uniquely set on a 2,165 square foot lot. The house is a double-walled wooden structure with a foundation of lava rock that has a concrete cap.  Many decorative motifs such as curved braces, exposed rafter tails and wooden arabesques on the carport gable and over the front entry, clearly set the style of the residence in the Craftsman tradition.

Address 2211 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:021 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9781 Abstract The Sayers House, built in 1930, is significant as a representative example of the Hawaiian style of architecture and the work of the architect Raymond Morris.  While working for many years for the building supply company of Lewers and Cooke, Morris influenced the landscape of middle class homes in Hawaii during the 1920s and 1930s.  The Sayers House, with its large sliding windows for cross ventilation, the glazing along the east walls to enjoy the views of Diamond Head and Manoa Valley, the great detail seen in the millwork, the steep double-pitched hip roof and the wide eaves are characteristics of the Hawaiian style of architecture which Ray Morris helped to develop This list of Hawaii’s historic properties is provided as a public service by Historic Hawaii Foundation.

Address 2239 Mohala Way, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:022 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Yoder Residence, built in 1924, is a two-story, wood-frame house with a semi-attached, enclosed garage built on a steeply sloping lot. The steep gable roof with shed dormer is a dominate feature on the Liloa Rise side of the house. The exterior walls of the house are clad in wooden shingles and the foundation is built of lava rock rubble. The interior features wood flooring, and the upper story and stairwell features board and batten walls. The Yoder Residence is significant as part of the suburban residential development of Honolulu in Manoa Valley in the early 1920s and as an example of a Craftsman style house built in the early twentieth century by master architects Furer and Potter.

Address 2243 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:023 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Ida Macdonald residence was built in 1926 in the College Hills Tract of Manoa.  It is significant as being part of the second period of intensive residential development in the area when larger properties were halved or quartered to offer more space for housing.  The Ida Macdonald Residence is also significant as an example of a Craftsman style house built in the early 20th century.  It is a three story, wood-framed, rectilinear Craftsman Bungalow with Dutch Colonial elements. These elements include a gabled roof and an elongated and sloping roof line on the north and east sides of the dwelling. The striking roof design, an elongated, steep gable with a flared end, shades an expansive lanai that merges the Craftsman concept of flow from indoors to outdoors with the Hawaiian Vernacular ideal and locality.

Address 2219 Armstrong Street/2251 Mohala Way, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:024 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9843 Abstract The Davis Residence, built in 1921, sits on an 11,000 square foot lot that slopes rather steeply downward from Mohala Way towards Armstrong Street. The residence is not a high style house; one which contains clearly defining architectural elements that facilitate the categorization of the house into a distinct style but rather, it is representative of a modest Vernacular Craftsman Bungalow.  The house maintains elements common to bungalows such as the horizontal emphasis, one story height, clapboard cladding, flared walls, exposed eave rafters, gently pitched roof and windows with rectangular multi-paned upper sashes over single lights. The house is characteristic of a higher end Lewers & Cooke type house designed for a family of moderate income.

Address 2387 Beckwith Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-006:029 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9038 Abstract The Stanley Ball Residence was built in 1922 in Manoa.  It is signifcant for its association with residential development in Manoa Valley, more specifically the College Hills Tract.  It is also significant as an example of a bungalow style house constructed in Hawaii in the early 1920s. The house with its porch's front facing gable, built-in furniture, pergola, use of lava rock, and figure four bracketing stylistically relates closely with the Bungalow tradition.  Its hipped roof places it in the genre of Bungalows primarily constructed in the 1910's in Hawaii, when hipped roofs were a favored Bungalow roof form.  Throughout most of the 1920's front facing gable roof Bungalows would come to the fore.  As such the Ball Residence stands at the cusp of this shift in Bungalow form in the islands.
