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.

4382 Kahala Avenue/ Lyndon Roberts Residence

Address 4382 Kahala Avenue, Honolulu HI 96816 TMK (1) 3-5-013:004 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9741 Abstract The Lyndon Roberts Residence was built circa 1930 in the middle-class Kahala neighborhood of Honolulu. The house is significant for its architecture as one of the few examples of "Hawaiian style" residential architecture remaining in Kahala from the early 20th century.  It is a single-story frame house, distinguished by its prominent, double-pitched hipped roof, over-hanging eaves, exposed rafters, and numerous windows for ventilation. It has a centered, inset lanai with concrete coconut trunk columns. The lanai columns are the only known example of this motif in the city making this especially noteworthy. The "Hawaiian style" was formalized by C. W. Dickey and Hart Wood around 1926 with the construction of cottages at the Halekulani Hotel. As the style became popular, a number of building supply companies such as Lewers & cooke and Theo E. Davies provided house plans to customers. The house may have been constructed using such plans by Mr. Roberts, a salesman, and his wife, Wanda, who was a teacher with the Territorial Department of Public Instruction.

Address 5329 Kalanianaole Highway, Honolulu HI 96822 TMK (1) 3-6-003:012 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-9804 Abstract The Carl and Florence (Gurrey) Bayer Residence is a two-story wood frame, simple Craftsman style building that sits on a flat lot by the ocean in `Aina Haina. Built in 1936, the Lewers and Cooke house is significant for its architecture as an excellent example of the simple Craftsman style homes designed by architect Raymond Llwewellen Morris for Lewers and Cooke. It is also significant for its association with Carl and Florence Bayer. The "T" shaped plan has a predominant gabled roof form covered in asphalt shingles with an outset gable end and an extended eave at the entry porch. The Bayer House was a collaborative effort between Raymond Llewellen Morris and Florence Gurrey Bayer. Morris' philosophy was to "first accomodate the desires and needs of the client and then to express his architectural skill and individualism in the roof design." The house incorporates the graceful characteristics of the simple "Hawaiian" style house popularized by Morris during this period with its high pitched roof, extended eaves and lanai, as well as the design aspects of a French farmhouse. Carl Bayer came to Hawaii from Germany in 1901 to work for Hackfeld & Co. and worked in various positions in the sugar industry, until becoming the sole proprietor of Rice Stix Dry Goods Co on Bethel Street in Honolulu. His wife, Florence Gurrey, was the daughter of renowned local artist Alfred Gurrey and helped to form the Hawaiian Humane Society with Lucy Ward.

It is also significant for its associations with Harlod C. Eichelberger, one of Hawaii's prominent business and civic leaders  and Clarence Hyde Cooke, one of the Territory's prominent financiers. In addition it is significant as a good example of a residential architecture of the late modern period, done by Mark Potter, one of Hawaii's premier architects of the period.

1320 Aalapapa Drive/ Miles and Kathy Anderson Residence

- Address 1320 Aalapapa Drive, Kailua HI 96734 TMK (1) 4-3-004:064 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-11-9037 Abstract The Anderson/Rosof House was originally built in 1928 by Town & Country Homes, Ltd., as skilled worker housing on the Kahuku Sugar Plantation. It was moved to its present site at Lanikai in 1942.  The house is significant as an example of Hawaiian Plantation Style architecture. With its hipped roof, overhanging eaves, simple body massing, board-and-batten construction, and open floor plan, the house has character-defining features of the era. The house is further significant for its association with historical events. Plantation strikes of the 1940s resulted in the eviction of striking workers and their families and the selling of their homes, such as this one. The shortage of building materials during World War II and the residential development of Lanikai contributed to the moving of this house from Kahuku to Lanikai.
