Address 51 Kepola Place, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-2-050:012 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-1354 National Register of Historic Places #82002501 Abstract Governor Carter's House was completed in 1928 on the 10-acre estate known as Lihiwai. It is significant for its architecture, landscape design, and association with Hawaii's former Governor George Robert Carter who was prominent politically and economically around the turn of the twentieth century. The home was designed by Hardie Phillip and Bertram Goodhue as one of the largest and finest private residences ever constructed in Hawaii. The grounds are also a superb example of Hawaiian landscape architecture of the 1920's.  It is a detached, double ell-shaped house, consisting of 26 major rooms on two main floors plus a basement, and containing a total area under the roof of over 26,000 square feet. The building was constructed using an interpretation of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in a form often used for major and important private dwellings, corporate headquarters, and public buildings in Hawaii during the 1920's. The entire building is built of shaped bluestone set in concrete and steel reinforced cement. This list of Hawaii’s historic properties is provided as a public service by Historic Hawaii Foundation.

Address 3649 Nuuanu Pali Dr., Honolulu HI 96817 TMK (1) 2-2-051:010 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-1371 National Register of Historic Places #86001618 Abstract The Judge James L. Coke Residence was built in 1934 in Nuuanu Valley along the old Nuuanu Pali Drive. It is significant for its architecture and for its association with Chief Justice James L. Coke. Designed by architect C. W. Dickey, it typifies an upper-class residence of 1930s Hawaii featuring excellent landscape and architectural design. The house is a well-handled adaptation of the Colonial Revival style of architecture to Island life. The grounds for the property were designed by leading landscape architect Richard Tongg, who placed an emphasis on the Nuuanu Stream which runs along multiple sides of the lot.  Judge Coke was an important figure in Hawaii during the early twentieth century; he founded the Democratic Party in the Islands in 1900 and served as Chief Justice of the Hawaiian Supreme Court through appointments by Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delanor Roosevelt.

The structure is an exellent example of the Queen Anne style of architecture, and is the only remaining structure in the Queen Anne style in the Makiki district. It is considered to be the most imposing example of this architectural style on the island of Oahu.

Address 1942 Judd Hillside Road, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-004:009 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9716 National Register of Historic Places #86002798 Abstract The J. P. Mendonca Residence was built in 1927 on the slopes of Pu'u 'Ualaka'a in lower Manoa Valley. It is significant for its architecture as an example of Mediterranean Revival Style, which was popular in Hawaii at this time.  The house was designed by Robert Miller, a Honolulu-based architect who executed many buildings in this style during the 1920s and 1930s, including the Kaimuki and Kalihi fire stations. The attention to detail, high degree of craftsmanship, and large scale make this one of the grander Mediterranean Revival houses in Hawaii. The H-shaped house stands two-stories and is constructed of reinforced concrete. It consists of a central section with wings on either side and features a blue tile roof, stucco walls, round arched opening and arcades.  J. P. Mendonca came to Hawaii in 1854 from the Azores and became a well-known figure in the construction industry and ranching.

Address 3300 Tantalus Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-5-011:008 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9045 National Register of Historic Places #08000207 Abstract The Liljestrand Residence was built in 1952 on the slopes of Tantalus, a cool, mountainous area overlooking Honolulu. The house was designed by architect Vladamir Ossipoff in consultation with owners Betty and Howard Liljestrand. The definition of Pacific Modern best describes this house because its use of interior space, sweeping horizontal lines, and built-in features are representative of modernist architecture; and yet the house is specifically designed to suit its location of both building site and sub-tropical climate. Elizabeth Gordon, a magazine editor for House Beautiful magazine, visited the house in 1953 while on a trip to find a house in Honolulu to feature as their Pace Setter house of the year. The house was photographed in October of 1957, and was recognized by the magazine in its July 1958 issue as the Pace Setter Home of the Year.

The nomination includes the entire twenty-two acre plantation, including macadamia nut trees and a caretakers's cottage. The Ernest Shelton Van Tassel Residence is significant for its association with the beginning of the macadamia nut industry in Hawaii.

Address 2001 Vancouver Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-016:028 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-1347 National Register of Historic Places #80001275 Abstract Distinguished by its eclectic style, the John Guild Residence is a three-story wood framed gable roofed structure distinguished by eleborate bracketing and woodwork.  The residence stands at the corner of Vancouver and Hunnewell, having a major visual impact on the residential neighborhood. The scale massing and the detailing are dominant within the neighborhood.  The present form of the house dates from a major remodeling undertaken in 1919 by John Guild, the then secretary of Alexander & Baldwin. Predating Hawaii zoning laws by some fifty years, the seaview area was one of the first areas to impose restrictive covenants for design and view planes.  It is likely that this is the reason that John Guild remodeled an earlier house on this site, rather than rebuilding a new house.

Address 2013 Kakela Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-019:036 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-1369 National Register of Historic Places #86001622 Abstract The R. N. Linn Residence was built in 1928 and is significant for its architecture. Designed by Shadinger, the house is a modest cottage rendered in the then emerging Hawaiian style of architecture. Principal elements of the style include the double-pitched hip roof, casement windows, and an open floor plan with single depth rooms. The carved exposed rafters are more than likely the work of Japanese carpenters and are indicative of the time and effort with which they approached their craft. Beyond the basic forms of the Hawaiian style and Japanese carpentry, the Linn Residence is architecturally significant for its fine interior, rendered in a Chinese mode. Given impetus by the Pan-Pacific movement, which emphasized the fact that Hawaii was a harmonious, multi-ethnic society, buildings blended architectural elements from the East and West.

Address 2110 Kakela Place, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-8-019:046 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-1361 National Register of Historic Places #84000249 Abstract The George D. Oakley Residence was built in 1929 and is significant for its architecture. Miles Gray, an engineer in the U.S. Army Quarter Master Corps, designed this house for Oakley, who was from Scotland. The house exemplifies the English Cottage style of residential design in Hawaii during the 1920s-1930s. Its thatchlike roof, mock half-timbered gable, lava-rock chimney, diamond-paned casement windows, king-post truss ceiling, the wrought-iron hardware, small window in the chimney, and asymmetrical facade--all contribute to make this dwelling one of the more exquisite representations of this Picturesque style in Hawaii. The house is also architecturally significant for its basement floor made of acid-stained cement. This process was developed by Robert B. Lammens during the late 1920s. As far as we know, this process was employed exclusively in Hawaii during this time, and this house is one of only about fifteen known examples of this fine 1920s-1930s craftsmanship extant in the State.
