2626 Terrace Drive / Reverend and Mrs. George A. Johnston Ross Residence

Address 2626 Terrace Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-015:050 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-08173 Abstract The Reverend and Mrs. George A. Johnston Ross Residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a colonial revival style house built in Honolulu during the 1920s.  The house is not a strict interpretation of the colonial revival style, having been splendidly adapted to its Hawaii situation.  The asymmetric facade with its corner lanai and attached carport, well reflect the informality of the style as it was adopted in Hawaii's lifestyle.  The access to the outside via decks from three of the upstairs rooms well addresses Hawaii's climate.  The use of lava rock in the retaining walls and ohia in the floor further associates the house to the Islands through the use of local materials.  The residence was constructed in 1928 for Reverend George Alexander Johnston Ross and his wife Caroline.

Address 121 Ragsdale Place, Honolulu, HI 96817 TMK (1) 2-2-051:007 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8159 Abstract The Lord Residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a large, craftsman style house built in Honolulu during the 1920s.  The residence is also significant under criterion A for its associations with the development of the Dowsett Highlands tract.  In Hawaii the craftsman style is most frequently associated with modest-scale, bungalow style houses.  The Lord residence , however, is on a larger scale than most cratsman houses in Hawaii, and incorporates certain low-key Spanish mission elements.  The house is also architecturally significant as a good example of a residence designed by the Honolulu firm of Emory & Webb.

3030 Noela Drive / Robert S. C. Ho Residence

Address 3030 Noela Drive, Honolulu, HI 96815 TMK (1) 3-1-028:020 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-8157 Abstract The Ho residence is significant on the local level under criterion C, as a good example of a house built in Honolulu during the 1940s in a modern style, which expanded its living area in the 1960s by enclosing the rear lanai.  Its unadorned, clean horizontal lines, the house's low profile and use of glass block windows as well as a picture window all bespeak the style.  The employment of an Asian wood screen as well as the design of the wrought iron railings, further attest to the house's island situation and the Chinese ancestry of the owner.  The Ho's were the first family of Asian descent to acquire land in the subdivision.

Address 2765 Pacific Heights Road, Honolulu, HI 96813 TMK (1) 2-2-023:025 SHPD Historic Site Number 80-14-7394 Abstract The Henry F. and Florence E. Davis residence is significant on the local level under Criterion C as a good example of a 1920s bungalow with a pavilion plan.  This two-story house , with its second floor underneath the main floor, follows the topography of the lot, and was constructed in 1927.  While its style and such materials as the clapboard siding, lava rock foundation, and use of sliding and double hung windows are typical of its period it has several distinctive features.  The pavilion floor plan may be found in other bungalows in the city as may balcony lanai, but neither is that common, are rarely found in the same house.  The pavilion plan is ideal for Hawaii, allowing trade winds to freely flow through the core of the house and its wings, while the lanai used as a outdoor living space is one of the distinctive features of domestic design in Hawaii.
