3030 Kalakaua Avenue/ C.W. Dickey Residence

Address 3030 Kalakaua Ave., Honolulu, HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-033:018 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-1363 National Register of Historic Places #84000201 Abstract The C.W. Dickey Residence was built in 1926 and is significant for its association with the well-known local architect, Charles William Dickey, and the development of the Hawaiian style of architecture. This cottage with its prominent double-pitched, hipped roof became the prototype for numerous modest cottages built in the Islands during the late 1920s and 1930s. Through the use of graceful sloping roofs, overhanging eaves, extensive windows and screened openings, and lanai, C.W. Dickey said, “I believe I have achieved a distinctive Hawaiian type of architecture”(Honolulu Advertiser, March 14, 1926). The house appears intact and serves as a well-crafted, well-designed statement of Dickey’s development of an exclusive Hawaiian style of architecture.

4117 Black Point Road/ John and Kate Kelly Residence

Address 4117 Black Point Road, Honolulu, HI 96816 TMK (1) 3-1-041:010 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9744 National Register of Historic Places #91001085 Abstract The Kelly Residence was built in 1931 in the Kahala neighborhood of Honolulu, and the second story was added in 1939. It was one of the first homes along Black Point. The house is significant for its architecture and for its association with John and Kate Kelly, two prominent artists in Hawaii from 1923-1960s. The Kelly residence exemplifies the Craftsman style in Hawaii during this period through its various materials and textures, ranging from the Chinese granite floor of the lanai, to the canec walls, acid stained concrete floors, bamboo trimmed railings, shingled exterior walls, and hand-hewn beams. The second story of the house functioned as a lanai and artist studio where some of their greatest works were created. Although it was ostensibly designed by local architect Louis E. Davis, a family friend, Kate Kelly is given credit as the primary designer of the home, accounting for the openness and craftsman-esque character of the house, and the serial spatial sequencing of the first floor.

4956 Kahala Avenue/ Jean Charlot Residence

Address 4956 Kahala Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816 TMK (1) 3-5-008:029 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9790 National Register of Historic Places #00001371 Abstract The Jean Charlot Residence is a split-level, ranch-style house completed in 1958 in the Kahala residential neighborhood of Honolulu, which features many homes in this style. It is significant for its architecture and for its association with the world-renowned Hawai‘i artist, Jean Charlot. The split-level ranch house is one-story on the southern side and two stories on the northern side. It features a low-pitched, gable roof continually sloping down from the two-story side of the house, which creates an asymmetric front facade and four vastly different elevations. Collaboration by Charlot and architect George James "Pete" Wimberly in 1957 created a house that possesses a uniquely artistic flair and combines the openness and use of lanais in island homes with the vertical emphasis of traditional French Rural architecture and the brick floors and back courtyards of Mexican houses. Landscape architect James Hubbard worked with Charlot in designing the gardens. The house has an L-shaped plan, and the cup of the L features a garden planted by Charlot that most notably uses Pandanus Trees from the University of Hawai‘i campus as well as some of his favorite plants, including Shower Trees and Jade Vines. Garden sculpture and decorative stones designed by Charlot, as well as pieces from his collection that are suitable for the outdoors, can be found throughout the home and landscaping.

It was designed by Ossipoff and built by contractor M. Kiuchi, who also teamed up to build the Edric Cook house (State Register). The house is situated on the rise of a sand dune in the center of a landscaped, ocean-front parcel. The one-story house has a distinctive steeply-pitched, cross-hip, "Hawaiian-style" roof, covered with shakes. The building's U-shaped plan wraps around an in-set lanai supported by coral stone columns. The lanai floor is acid-stained concrete, inscribed with a tapa-inspired design. The open side of the U faces the mountains, protecting the lanai from the prevailing onshore winds. The home's design combines many elements of indoor/ outdoor living associated with the architecture of Hawaii during this period. The bath and dressing rooms open directly to the exterior, and the large lanai has a fireplace.

Designed by Hardie Phillip, who designed several other outstanding Hawaiian-style buildings in Honolulu such as the C. Brewer Building and former residence of Governor Carter, the house is a twenty-four room mansion rendered in a Hawaiian style of architecture. The two-story, white-washed brick and frame residence features an asymmetrical plan which lends the building a sense of sprawling informality. Well-planned, well-crafted, and known for paying high attention to detail, the house was built for lavish, opulent entertainment which it came to be associated with. As such, it epitomizes the finest traditions in upper-class residential design in Hawaii for its period.
