It is of double-wall construction with horizontal siding on the outside. The interior walls are of pressed wood, sheet rock, or wood paneling. The Hardy House was built in 1897 onto an existing one-room house owned by a Hawaiian family. The house is also one of the few wooden houses, of that age, remaining on the island. Very few wooden houses of that age have survived the termites, harsh tropical climate and temperature of Hawaii.
