The single wall construction comes out of Hawaii’s plantation architecture tradition, while the carport is another post-World War II innovation associated with the modern movement.The Tanabe Residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a modern style house built in Honolulu during the 1950s. It is also significant at the local level under criterion A for its associations with the development of the College Hills Tract.
