Address 45-493 Lehua Street, Honokaa, Hawaii 96727 TMK (3) 4-5-0160210000 SHPD Historic Site Number N/A Abstract The John J. Andrade property is comprised of one and two-story buildings that have been renovated, expanded and altered over time prior to 1973. The complex consists of three sections: a long and rectangular two-story structure; a small, square two-story property, site of the former Andrade Hotel, and the squarish single-story ‘Ōhi‘a Lanai. The property is significant under Criterion C as a good example of wood commercial and residential buildings constructed in the Plantation style between approximately 1920-1930. The property is also significant under Criterion A as an example of a Portuguese American family engaged in small businesses to meet their own needs and contribute to the needs of the larger community. One of the oldest such operations in Honoka‘a, three generations of the Andrade family have lived on the property and operated their businesses there: a meat market, restaurant and laundry, between 1926 and 1973.

The Clubhouse’s size, 3,096 square feet, illustrates the expansion of membership over the years. Its design elements reflect an evolution from 1920s Plantation Era building designs into 1950s’ ideas that meld outdoor and interior spaces.

The Ikeuchi family reflects the history of peoples who settled in this area of the Hāmākua District on Hawai‘i Island. The Ikeuchis were involved in several types of businesses (boarding, restaurant, general retail, tinsmithing, plumbing and hardware) while seeking a stable means to support the expanding family. The property is significant under Criterion C as a good example of plantation era architecture for wood commercial and residential buildings constructed in Hawai‘i during the opening decades of the 20th  century. The Residential structure, makai of the Commercial space, is two stories with a concrete floor and walls and posts which support the upper floor. The walls are tongue-and-groove. Plantation-era features include the Japanese traditional bath (furo), single wall construction, double-hung windows and totan (corrugated iron). The Commercial building’s character defining elements include the structure’s front elevation’s windows, doors, shed-roofed awning, and false front with its bracketed cornice.

It is significant as a small-town religious institution, centerpiece for religious and social activities, and catalyst for ethnic mixing in church and town. The church’s blended congregation was comprised of Europeans, Portuguese, Puerto Ricans, Filipinos, and Native Hawaiians members. This diversity of cultures paved the way for the ethnic mixing in church that fostered similar cultural exchange with the small shops in town prevalent throughout the plantation era. The Honokaʻa Catholic Properties is also significant for its design with an eclectic melding of Plantation Vernacular style and Late 19th and 20th century late Gothic Revival style. Elements include single wall construction, a totan (corrugated iron) roof, Gothic windows and a peaceful, restful, spiritually centering atmosphere. The Meeting Hall building is a good example of early Plantation-Era design and construction that includes associated features such as post and pier and concrete pad foundation, tongue and groove single-board walls, wood panel doors, exposed rafter tails, and totan roof.

It is significant for its longtime association with the Hongwanji Buddhist Sect as a focal point of religious and social activities for generations of local Japanese since the first services were conducted in Honokaʻa in 1904. Also significant under Criterion C, each structure represents different architectural styles and characteristics. The Temple building represents the work of a master draftsman Charles Kohara following the Hawaiʻi International Buddhist architecture style which incorporates elements of Indian, Japanese and Western characteristics. The Mughal-style rounded arch at the building’s entrance with flat-roofed towers on each side and textured glass with a starburst design are examples. The Social Hall, classified as Mid-Century Modern, represents post-World War II plantation-inspired architecture with the hipped roof, in the same color and material as the roof of the Temple building, reinforcing a sense of place. The Judo Dōjō building with characteristics such as tongue and groove single-board walls, wood panel doors, exposed rafter tails, and totan roof is a good example of early Plantation-Era design and construction.
