2536 Manoa Road / John C. Cook Residence

Address 2536 Manoa Road, Honolulu, HI 96822 TMK (1) 2-9-009:006 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-80-14-08205 Abstract The John C. Cook residence is significant as a very good and rare example of a late Queen Anne revival style house built in Hawaii during the early 1900s.  Its asymmetric massing, wrap around porch, use of such varied materials as clapboard, cut shingle and shiplap siding, and its steep, irregular roof with prominent, protruding dormers and gables all reflect the Queen Anne revival style.  Furthermore, the high, 12' and 15' ceilings, the emphasis on cross ventilation, and the size of the side lanai with its emphasis on outdoor living also places the house in an Hawaii context.  The residence was constructed in 1907 by John C. Cook for himself. This list of Hawaii’s historic properties is provided as a public service by Historic Hawaii Foundation.

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.

It is not the official list of properties designated on the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places.
