Address 2330 Beckwith Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-007:006 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9839 Abstract The Steere Residence was built in 1908 and represents the first wave of buildings to be constructed in the exclusive College Hills Tract of Manoa Valley. The two-story, asymmetrical house is one of the earliest examples of the Craftsman Bungalow Style in the area. The interior of the house also reflects the Craftsman philosophy of an organic natural interaction with the living environment and its residents.  It is one of the only examples of the "airplane" variation of bungalow style to be featured in Manoa and features impressive views of Waikiki and the Pacific Ocean.  The house is a superb example of the high ideals of the original developers of the College Hills Tract.

Address 2310 Ferdinand Avenue, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:023 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9770 Abstract The Eric Fennel House was built circa 1910 and moved circa 1920 to its present location on a sloping lot on Ferdinand Avenue in Manoa Valley. The house was also known as Hopena-Alanui (Road’s End) because of its location at the makai end of Ferdinand Avenue. The lot was heavily planted and includes one of the first Calabash trees in Hawaii. It is significant for its architecture and its association with Dr. Eric Fennel, who arrived in Hawaii with the Army after World War I as the head of the Tripler Laboratory. He was one of the five founders of the Straub Clinic and was the first clinical pathologist in the Territory. Architecturally, the house exemplifies the bungalow style adapted to Hawaii's climatic needs with wide, overhanging eaves, wrap-around lanai, and large windows.

Address 2329 Sonoma Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:024 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9792 Abstract The Hoogs Residence is a single-story house, which sits on a large, sloping 15,000 square foot lot on the west side of Manoa valley with an unobstructed view of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean. The house with its front facing gables, built-in furniture, and use of lava rock and figure four bracketing relates closely with the bungalow tradition as it developed in the 1920's in Hawaii. However, it is larger than many bungalows and its U-plan places it above many more modest examples of the style. The design of the house well addresses Hawaii's climatic needs. The large double hung sash windows in the dining room's rear wall provide not only magnificent vistas of Diamond Head, but also allow ample air flow through the house, especially when combined with the living room's two, large, double hung sash front windows.

Address 2440 Ferdinand Avenue, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:029 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9806 Abstract The Cockburn Residence in Manoa was built in 1914 and then altered in 1921.  It is significant as a unique rendition of the Colonial Revival style of architecture and as a representative work of the architect William C. Furer.  Though symmetric in appearance from the front of the house as is typical of the Colonial Revival style, the floor plan displays an assymmetric layout and many Craftsman and Queen Anne Victorian details. While the architect of the original portion of the house is unknown, it is known that William C. Furer is the architect for the second floor addition on the wings and is responsible for incorporating the second floor into the overall massing and look of the house in 1921.  As such, this house is a representation of the work of a master architect.

Address 1909 Aleo Pl., Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:036 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9812 Abstract Constructed at the turn of the century, the Charlotte Erickson Meyer/William C. Furer Residence is a wood frame, two story house, located on the western slope of Manoa Valley. This eclectic structure with intersecting gables is significant for its architecture as an example of Early Colonial Revival and Shingle styles designed by the distinguished Oliver Green Taphagen, who is best known for his design of the Moana Hotel in 1901. It is also significant for its association with William C. Furer, a prominent architect and engineer, who lived in the home from 1917 until his death in 1963. In 1920, Furer began a practice with the noted architect William Mark Potter, a prolific residential architect during the 1930s and 1940s. The house was originally built as a wedding present by B.F. Dillingham for his servant, Charlotte Erickson Meyer and her new husband. It originally consisted of the main house and the carriage house.
