University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa School of Architecture Doctorate Project Committee David Rockwood - Chairperson Geoff rey Lewis Patrick Onishi Acknowledgements This project has its origin in ideas collected from a number of sources. They are from the classroom, library, the offi ce, the fi eld, and my own experience. It is an integration of lessons learned, trial and error, and new discoveries. However, this project is a collective eff ort because it requires the knowledge and creative thinking of many great individuals. I would like to thank the people who supported me throughout this project. This project could not have been accomplished without the input and support of those important people. I would like to thank my committee who helped and supported this project and who took the time out of their busy schedules to give me feedback and guidance throughout the process. I especially thank David Rockwood, my chairperson, who spent countless hours reviewing the document and discussing ways for improvement. I am truly grateful to Geoff rey Lewis and Patrick Onishi, my committee, for their knowledgeable guidance and constant encouragement. There are many others to whom I owe thanks. Foremost among these is Michael Motoda, my boss at the landscape architecture fi rm where I worked for 4 years during school years. He supported me in many ways throughout my 4 years of working experience.

    Brenda Lam 2512 Manoa Rd. Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 Date: November 2, 2016 To: Review Board for Hawaii Register of Historic Places Dear Board Members, I am resubmitting application LOG No. 201600829, DOC No. 1607MB08: Hart Wood Residence. I am both the owner and preparer of the application for the Hart Wood Residence. I am resubmitting my application to be reviewed at the December 9, 2016 meeting. My original application was reviewed on the agenda of the Historic Places Review Board meeting on August 26, 2016. My application was deferred due to the following: 1. Board requested adding Criterion B- Property is associated with the lives of persons significant in our past. 2. Board requested a floor plan of the second story of the residence. 3. Board inquired why photographs of the upstairs were not included in the application. 4. Board requested further inspection of the second story, beyond viewing the interior staircase and window (which were viewed) which I felt were significant to my application as superior craftsmanship. 5. Board requested adding four elevations of the exterior of the home. These could be sketches, or formal architectural drawings. I am therefore resubmitting the application for reconsideration to be placed on the Hawaii Register of Historic Places. In my revised application I have found new information which is critical to my application and that will be included. I am adding Criterion B, and making the appropriate re-write of the application. I am including a second story floor plan. 1 I am adding five photographs of the upstairs which show the condition of the second floor space prior to roommate moving in.

Blake During critical periods in our nation’s history, The Pittsburgh Courier weekly newspaper, published between 1907 and 1965, served as an instrument of change in the fight against racial discrimination in housing, jobs, health, education, sports, and other areas. Printed locally but distributed throughout the United States in 14 national editions, The Pittsburgh Courier became the most influential Black newspaper in the nation, with a peak circulation of 400,000. It provided a lens through which Americans could see and read about the gross injustices targeting Blacks, from the Jim Crow era at the beginning of the 20th century through the turbulent years of the civil rights movement. Following the crusading newspa- per’s financial collapse in 1965, it soon re-emerged as today’s New Pittsburgh Courier, which continues to serve the community.
