2339 Pikake Place/ Stuart & Elizabeth Thompkins Residence

Address 2339 Pikake Place, Honolulu HI 96817 TMK (1) 1-8-005:014 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9026 Abstract The Stuart & Elizabeth Frazier Tompkins Residence is a modest Colonial Revival style house constructed in Hawaii in the early 1930's.  The house with its one and a half story scale, lateral running, steep, shake shingle, gable roof, double hung windows, and prominent, outset, gable roofed entry, well characterizes the English or Williamsburg Colonial Revival style of the dwelling.  The primary variance from the ideal form for that style is the building’s lack of symmetry, a common occurrence in Colonial Revival style houses constructed in Hawaii.  In this house, as in numerous others in the islands, the desire for a sunroom, with large sliding windows is what breaks the symmetry.  In addition, the rear enclosed lanai is another Hawaii departure from the more typical U.S. Mainland examples of the style.

2350 and 2370 Nu‘uanu Avenue/ George Robert Ewart House

Address 2350 & 2370 Nuuanu Avenue, Honolulu HI 96817 TMK (1) 1-8-005:031 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9778 Abstract The George Robert Ewart House was built in 1906 in lower Nuuanu. It is significant for its architecture and its association with Ewart, who was the manager of several large plantations and also knowledgeable in locomotive engineering. The house is an excellent example of vernacular architecture used for plantation manager homes throughout Hawaii at the turn of the twentieth century. The simple board and batten construction and large entry porch and large double hung windows are particularly well suited to both the climate and informal living of this period.

20 Old Pali Place/ Edgar & Lucy Kalanikumaikiekie Davis Henriques Residence

Address 20 Old Pali Place, Honolulu, HI 96817 TMK (1) 1-9-009:016 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-1367 National Register of Historic Places #84000202 Abstract The Henriques Residence was built in 1900 and is significant for its architecture and for its association with Lucy K. Peabody, and Edgar and Lucy Henriques. The house is a well preserved example of a turn-of-the-century kama'aina residence. Its splendid and extremely open interior, its dining room windows which open from the floor to allow added access to the porch, its large beveled glass front doors, and extensive use of single hung sash windows, are all typical of the period and well reflect the designer’s cognizance of the house’s semi-tropical environment. Few dwellings of this period still exist in Hawaii, and to find these features intact in such houses is extremely rare. The residence is also significant for its associations with Lucy K. Peabody, and Edgar and Lucy Henriques who were from a high ali'i family and descendants of Isaac Davis, the British seaman, who along with John Young served as an adviser to Kamehameha I, in his attempts to unite the Hawaiian Islands.

209 Concordia/ Machado Residence

Address 209 Concordia Street, Honolulu HI 96813 TMK (1) 2-2-007:037-0003 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9797 Abstract The Machado homestead consists of three Craftsman style Bungalows built on the slopes of Punchbowl, surrounded by avocado, mountain apple, plumeria and mango trees. Built from 1922 to circa 1930 by Henry Freitas, the houses are significant for their architecture and for their association with the early residential settlement of the Portuguese community in Honolulu. The single-wall homes sit on partial or full lava rock foundations with concrete steps leading up to an inset entry porch. They feature tongue-and-groove vertical board walls encircled by girts, paired one-over-one double-hung windows, and combination hip-and-gable roofs. The homes exemplify the popular Craftsman style through the use of decorative gable-ends and rafter tails, brackets, lava-rock piers, and decorative moldings. The homestead compound is surrounded by a low lava rock wall and sits next to the Punchbowl Holy Ghost Church. The houses in this area are mostly small cottages built close together, many have no fences, walls or plantings, indicating that many were built in a manner similar to the Machado's--for multi-family living. The Portuguese were noted as fine craftsmen and wall builders. The vast majority of the remaining older houses in this area were built in the Craftman style but very few are as intact as the Machado homestead.
