2257 Kuai Road / Sakuichi and Chieko Matsumoto Residence
Address 2257 Kuai Rd, Koloa, HI 96756 TMK 280180310000 SHPD Historic Site Number N/A Abstract Located in a quiet, residential neighborhood in Po‘ipū, the Sakuichi and Chieko Matsumoto residence is a post and pier, single-story, single wall craftsman/bungalow style residence with an attached garage and laundry room. The walls are tongue-and-groove with an exterior girt and lattice apron with a square pattern around the foundation. Other notable features include use of local lava rock on the porch, battered columns, a roof with overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails, a flowing living-dining room space and use of built-ins such as the hall linen closet and dressing table niche in the front bedroom. Built in 1949, the house is significant under Criterion C as a very good example of the final years of the bungalow style in Hawai‘i and on Kaua‘i. It is one of only two houses on the street to survive Hurricane Iniki in 1992.
