Oahu Residential

Address 1909 Aleo Pl., Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:036 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9812 Abstract Constructed at the turn of the century, the Charlotte Erickson Meyer/William C. Furer Residence is a wood frame, two story house, located on the western slope of Manoa Valley. This eclectic structure with intersecting gables is significant for its architecture as an example of Early Colonial Revival and Shingle styles designed by the distinguished Oliver Green Taphagen, who is best known for his design of the Moana Hotel in 1901. It is also significant for its association with William C. Furer, a prominent architect and engineer, who lived in the home from 1917 until his death in 1963. In 1920, Furer began a practice with the noted architect William Mark Potter, a prolific residential architect during the 1930s and 1940s. The house was originally built as a wedding present by B.F. Dillingham for his servant, Charlotte Erickson Meyer and her new husband. It originally consisted of the main house and the carriage house.

Address 2442 Sonoma St, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:039 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9012 Abstract The Edward Loomis Residence was built in 1926 on the West side of Manoa Valley.  It is significant as an example of a 1920s Colonial Revival style house as well as for its association with Dr. Edwin K. Chung-Hoon, one of the first Hawaiians to obtain a medical degree and a renown authority on Hansen's disease.  The house’s balanced, rectangular profile and a lanai with prominent Doric columns stylistically relate to the Colonial Revival style.  However, the house’s asymmetrical façade, sliding doorways, and open floor plan is at a variance with traditional Colonial Revival forms, but very much in keeping with the 1920s architectural response to Hawaii’s environment. The design of the house well addresses Hawaii’s climatic needs. The capacious lanai allows for an outdoor living space, while its various pocket doors not only enhance ventilation but encourage indoor-outdoor relationships.

Address 2326 Sonoma Street, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-008:049 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9036 Abstract The Theodore and Rose Vierra Residence was built in 1947 on the west side of Manoa Valley.  It is significant as an example of a modern style house contructed in Hawaii in the later 1940s-early 1950s.  It is also significant for its associations with its architect and owner, Ted Vierra, one of the earliest known architect of native Hawaiian ancestry to practice in Hawaii.  The marked simplicity, flow, and clean design of the Vierra residence clearly reflect the work of a skilled hand.  Well laid out, it provides a dynamic and engaging spatial variety in an economic, modern manner.  The flowing public spaces on the ground floor couple with its front terrace and lanai to offer a concise dialogue between indoors and out, which is further enhanced by the second floor bedroom's cantilevered balcony.  The living room's open beam ceiling, the entry hall's acid stained concrete floor, and the stair's simple wrought iron railing contribute small details which raise the house further above the ordinary.

Address 2494 East Manoa Road, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-010:002 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9006 Abstract The Mrs. Flora Lidgate Residence was built in 1935 in Manoa. It is significant as a Hawaiian style house constructed during the 1930's, and as the work of master architect C.W. Dickey.  The house displays Dickey's mature style, with its double pitched hipped roof, strong sense of cross ventilation, and use of large expanses of windows and sliding doors.  The character of the house derives from its simple massing with its dominant roof, rather than applied ornamentation.  The house incoporates these major hallmarks of the Hawaiian style of architecture in an L-shaped plan, and adds another major Hawaiian style feature, the lanai.
