Address 2872 Manoa Rd, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-017:004 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9093 Abstract The F.A. and Mary Bechert Residence is located deep within Manoa Valley and is situated on a gently sloping lot above Manoa Road.  The two-story house follows a Fantasy Picturesque form, which appeared in the islands in the late 1920's through the early 1930's.  It is one of approximately a dozen such styled houses that remain in Honolulu.  Related to the Tudor revival style, it uses Elizabethan forms in a rather whimsical manner that is meant to be reminiscent of a fairytale.  Such forms are not employed in an academically correct manner but rather as signifiers that tend towards a playful style.
