Address 915 Sheridan Street, Honolulu, HI 96814 TMK (1) 2-3-018:004 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9830 National Register of Historic Places #02000386 Abstract As the mother church of the Shingon sect in Hawaii, the Hawaii Shingon Mission is one of the most highly decorated temples in the islands. Built in a "Japanese Design Style," the Hawaii Shingon Mission follows classic lines of Japanese Buddhist temples, with some characteristics unique to Hawaii. Its raised platform base with low railings, a lanai or engawa that surrounds the temple on three sides, and a prominent protruding cusped gable entrance are typical features of this building type in Hawaii. The Hawaii Shingon Mission is significant as one of only seven missions remaining in this style of architecture in Hawaii. Although it was altered significantly in 1978 and a major addition was built in 1992, the roof and its original carvings form the framework of its character and the interior furnishings brought from Japan maintain a major part of its significance. The building remains highly reflective of the Japanese presence in Hawaii. This list of Hawaii’s historic properties is provided as a public service by Historic Hawaii Foundation.

Address 900 South Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96826 TMK (1) 2-4-014:021 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9989 National Register of Historic Places #72000415 Abstract Built in 1927, Honolulu Academy of Arts is a one and two story building of stone wall construction. Textured white plastered walls, a columned entrance lanai and a dominating high pitched tile roof characterize what has come to be known as the "Hawaiian" architecture which developed during the 1920s and 1930s. The interior is arranged around five open courts surrounded by exhibit galleries. Each court reflects a different character, the most distinctive influences being that of the Spanish and Chinese. Honolulu Academy of Art is significant as an example of Hawaiian architecture, combining Chinese, Spanish, and island designs. It is also significant as the work of architect Bertram Goodhue who was commissioned by Mrs. C.M. Cooke to design a building for the Honolulu Academy of Arts on her family's home site which she donated for this purpose.

The original four-story wood structure, designed by Oliver G. Traphagen, features an elaborately designed lobby which extends to open lanais and is open to the Banyan Court and the sea. A five-story concrete addition was added in 1918, changing the floor plan from a simple rectangle to the present H-shaped plan that encloses the Banyan Court on three sides. The structure is a combination of colonial clapboard and Victorian styling. The Moana Hotel is significant in the history of the architectural development of Waikiki. The original wooden center structure of the Moana Hotel is the oldest existing hotel in Waikiki. The Moana was one of the earliest "high-rise" buildings in Hawaii and was the costliest and most elaborate hotel in the islands.
