Address 3033 Oahu Ave, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-032:019 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9828 Abstract 3033 Oahu Avenue was built in 1928 on a Waioli Tract lot in Manoa Valley.  This house is significant as an example of middle class housing in an expanding Honolulu community in the early 20th century.  Construction of this house was part of a new residential pattern in Honolulu towards "small houses of the bungalow type."    Designed by architect Herbert Cohen Cayton, this Craftsman Style Bungalow has many interior and exterior features of the style, but shows regional influences with its lava rock foundation, fireplace and chimney.  3033 Oahu Avenue is also significant as one of the first "spec" houses in Hawaii.  Built with no specific client in mind, the architect speculated on the needs and desires of the average buyer.

Address 3137 Oahu Avenue, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-032:024 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9820 Abstract The Leroy Bush Residence was built in 1925 in Manoa Valley on a lot that slopes down and away from the street towards a small stream on the mauka (mountain side) portion of the lot. The one-story dwelling is "L" shaped in plan with a finished basement and has an intersecting gable roof with flat overhanging finished eaves. Built in 1924 and added to in 1939, the Leroy Bush Residence is significant as an example of the residential architecture of Hart Wood, a prominent architect in Hawaii during the 1920s and 30s. The interesting aspect of this house is that it represents two time periods of Hart Wood's work. The original house is an example of his adaptation to typical Western styles and the 1939 addition demonstrates his well-known integration of Easter motifs.

Address 3137 Oahu Avenue, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-032:027 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9784 Abstract The George Fred Wright Residence is a two and one-half story Colonial Revival residence built circa 1927 at the top of a rise in Manoa Valley. It is significant for its architecture and its association with prominent politician, George Fred Wright, who was the Mayor of Honolulu from 1931 until his death in 1938. It is also significant for its association with the early residential development of Honolulu and is located in the Waioli Tract of the O`ahu Avenue extension in Manoa Valley.

Address 3029 Oahu Ave, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-032:053 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9827 Abstract 3029 Oahu Avenue is a Craftsman style house built circa 1935 in Manoa Valley. It is significant for its architecture and for its association with the residential development of Honolulu. The Craftsman style bungalow was popular in the United States from 1890 to about 1940. By the 1920's, the style had become very popular in Hawai`i, partly because of its availability and its suitability to the islands' climate and lifestyle. This bungalow is an early example of a "spec" house by architect Herber Cohen Cayton and contractor Kobayashi. As a "spec" house, or a house built in speculation of a buyer, there was no specific client. The architect needed to speculate on the needs and desires of the "average" buyer. The charming house has a rectangular plan, clapboard siding, and a steeply-sloped hip roof with two front-facing gables on each end. Both gable ends feature a circular vent. The windows are generally paired 6-over-6 double hung sash on the top floor, and 8-over-8 light, double hung sash flanked by 4-over-4 light windows on the first floor. The house represents the expansion of middle-class housing in Honolulu in the first half of the twentieth century and the development of the highly desirable neighborhood of Manoa.
