Address 66-362 Haleiwa Road, Haleiwa, HI 96712 TMK (1) 6-6-008:017 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-04-9050 Abstract The Kealii O Malu Church was constructed in 1939 and is a single-story wood frame building typical of a small rural church in Hawaii. The church was built under the Hawaiian tradition; the front door facing the ocean welcoming products from the sea and with the door at the rear facing the land, welcoming the gifts from the land. The small church sits in a large lawn area with several tropical plants, ferns, and flowers adjacent to the structure. The Kealii O Malu Church is significant for its architecture and its role in the religious history of Hawaii. While the style is not particularly distinctive, it is in harmony with the historical town of Haleiwa and the island of Oahu. It is a typical example of a rural Hawaiian missionary church. An effective use of wood is shown throughout the structure. This list of Hawaii’s historic properties is provided as a public service by Historic Hawaii Foundation.

Address 66-207 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, HI 96712 TMK (1) 6-6-009:023 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-04-1334 Abstract Built in 1913, the Waialua Courthouse is a Neo-Classical Revival building with simplified Greek elements. The building also features exaggerated, extended eaves which are a concession to the tropical climate as well as being a major element of the building's style. The structure is wood frame with double wall construction. The foundation of this symmetrical, T-shaped building consists of stone footings in the front portion and concrete in the rear wing of the building. The Waialua Courthouse is significant as a fine example of the Neo-Classical Revival style with Greek elements. In addition, the building served as a civic center for the Waialua District of Oahu and originally housed a public health center, post office, court room, and cell block.

Address 92-1700 Kunia Road, Waipahu, HI 96797 TMK (1) 9-2-005:023 SHPD Historic Site Number N/A Abstract The Kunia Camp property consists 127 contributing structures. The residences and community buildings within the camp are united by their physical development as a village for plantation workers provided by the California Packing Company for its employees. The 107 residences have the distinctive characteristics of the Hawaiian Plantation Style of architecture, which includes vertical boards on the exterior, single-wall construction, and low-pitched roof with wide, overhanging eaves. Still surrounded by agricultural land, Kunia Camp is the last intact pineapple plantation housing community under one ownership on Oahu. Kunia Camp is significant for its historic associations with the development of the pineapple industry in Hawaii; its specific association with CPC/Del Monte from 1916 until 2007; its unique collection of plantation residences.

Address 94-695 Waipahu Street, Waipahu, HI 96707 TMK (1) 9-4-010:004 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-09-1375 Abstract The Tsoong Nyee Society Cook House, built in 1909, is a modest single story, frame, 13' x 25' structure that sits on a concrete foundation. It is of single wall, vertical plank construction with an interior girt. The cook house is the only structure remaining of an originally larger complex which included the Tsoong Nyee Society Hall, a death house and a garden space. The other buildings were destroyed in a wind storm in the 1970s. The area occupied by these structures is included in the nomination. The Tsoong Nyee Society Cook House is significant for its associations with the Chinese settlement of Waipahu and as one of the few remaining Chinese cook houses in Hawaii. It is also significant for its potential to yield information on turn of the century Chinese culture in Hawaii. The cook house is one of approximately six to still exist within the state as of the writing of this nomination in 1987.

Address 95-076 Kipapa Drive, Mililani, HI 96789 TMK (1) 9-5-021:002 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-09-9777 Abstract Building B at Kipapa Elementary School, built in 1932, is a simple vernacular wooden frame structure. It is rectangular in plan with a wide lanai along the length of the building and has a simple gable roof. It was once part of a much larger U-shaped three wing school building surrounded by pineapple fields, but it is currently immersed within a modern, mostly concrete school campus. Kipapa is historically significant for its association with the development of public schools in Hawaii and especially to the ever changing community of the area. It is further significant as one of only two remaining vestiges of the rural plantation community that once existed in what is now a modern day subdivision called Mililani Town. Architecturally, it is significant as a representative example of the plantation vernacular that was evident in rural schools of Hawaii, none of which are extant on Oahu.

Address 98-110 Honomanu Street, Aiea, HI 96701 TMK (1) 9-8-018:042 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-09-7396 Abstract The Forty Niner Restaurant is located on a 9,096 square foot parcel on Honomanu Street where Aiea Heights meets Kamehameha Highway. The single-story restaurant is easily viewed from the heavily trafficked highway and has served as an iconic landmark since its inception in 1947. The exterior walls are comprised of stuccoed concrete masonry units (CMU) with concrete overhangs covering the sidewalk along Honomanu Street.  The simplistic style of the Forty Niner lends itself to the International Style that was common in Hawaii after World War II. The Forty Niner Restaurant is significant for its association with the efforts of post World War II Nisei (second generation Japanese-Americans) who were determined to improve their standard of living, did not return to the plantations, and instead became entrepreneurs. In this vein, Mr. Richard Kiyoshi Chagami, who had served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, started the Forty Niner and catered to his loyal customers with locally favorites such as saimin. The restaurant is also significant as an example of the International Style. The style, which drew heavy influence from Bauhaus architecture, transcended to a uniquely Hawaiian style with the addition of cultural elements.
