60 Niniko Place / Frederick Lowrey Residence

Address 60 Niniko Place, Hononlulu, HI 96817 TMK (1) 9-008:048 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-08824 Abstract Approved for Criterion A (Historical Events and Patterns) and Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering).  Frederick Lowrey purchased this Nuuanu parcel in 1892 for his wife and developed the residence as a summer retreat named Niniko.  A craftsman style dwelling was constructed that replaced an earlier structure.  Mr. Lowrey remarried after his wife's death and had architect C.W. Dickey upgrade and expand the house in 1927.  The craftsman style is an American architectural style and philosophy that began in the last years of the 19th century.  This residence is a good example of the style in Honolulu with its lateral running gable roof with broad overhanging eaves and figure four brackets providing a long horizontal profile.  The chimney, porte cochere, and lanai's use of natural lava rock furthers the sense of rusticity associated with the style as does the interior's extensive use of board and batten.

2727 Manoa Road / Sidney and Grace Carr Residence

Address 2727 Manoa Road, Honolulu, HI  96822 TMK (1) 2-9-015:057 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-07742 Abstract The Carr Residence is significant as a good example of a Colonial Revival style house built in Honolulu during the 1920s.  Colonial Revival sought to follow the architecture of the Revolutionary War period which drew strongly upon Georgian architecture of Great Britain, but did not generally produce exact replicas of early buildings.  The residences' lateral running gable roof with gable returns, center portico supported by heavy modillions, entry door fan light, and white clapboard siding are all significant of the style.  The Carr Residence is not a strict interpretation of the the style, having been adapted to its Hawaii situation.  The house is also significant as a rare example of a house designed by Arthur Reynolds, who over the years maintained a periodic relationship with Hawaii.

Address 3870 Nikolo Street, Honolulu, HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-028:021 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-08814 Abstract Approved for Criterion A (Historical Events and Patterns) and Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering).  The Koyanagi residence is typical of modern residential architecture in Hawaii of the early 1950s designed by a non-architect.  Its unadorned, clean horizontal lines, the house's low profile and use of glass block windows as well as a picture window all represent the style.  Its use of concrete block in its construction is also typical of the immediate post-war period.  Frank and Gladys Koyanagi were the second Asian family to erect a house in the Leahi Terrace area and one of the few original houses to still stand in the tract.
