4117 Black Point Road/ John and Kate Kelly Residence

Address 4117 Black Point Road, Honolulu, HI 96816 TMK (1) 3-1-041:010 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9744 National Register of Historic Places #91001085 Abstract The Kelly Residence was built in 1931 in the Kahala neighborhood of Honolulu, and the second story was added in 1939. It was one of the first homes along Black Point. The house is significant for its architecture and for its association with John and Kate Kelly, two prominent artists in Hawaii from 1923-1960s. The Kelly residence exemplifies the Craftsman style in Hawaii during this period through its various materials and textures, ranging from the Chinese granite floor of the lanai, to the canec walls, acid stained concrete floors, bamboo trimmed railings, shingled exterior walls, and hand-hewn beams. The second story of the house functioned as a lanai and artist studio where some of their greatest works were created. Although it was ostensibly designed by local architect Louis E. Davis, a family friend, Kate Kelly is given credit as the primary designer of the home, accounting for the openness and craftsman-esque character of the house, and the serial spatial sequencing of the first floor.

934 8th Avenue/ Leong-Yap House

Address 934 8th Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816 TMK (1) 3-2-017:044 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9035 Abstract Built in 1928, the Leong-Yap Residence is a typical Kaimuki home. The Bungalow style of the main house, complemented by the historic plantation style cottages to the rear of the lot, creates a picture of the evolution of Kaimuki.  The evolution of a vernacular "Hawaiian" style of architecture incorporates the Bungalow style and the Plantation style in defining an appropriate architectural form for the Hawaiian climate.  The "Hawaiian" vernacular form uses input from US mainland architectural styles adapted with wide over-hanging eaves to shade windows from the sun, the use of large windows to create airflow patterns, and corrugated metal roofing to deal with the sometimes vast amounts of tropical rain.  The Bungalow style of the main residence and the similar Plantation style of the rear two residences maintain the integrity of these features, ensuring their place in the ranks of history.
