Ward House Honolulu, Hawaii Name of Property County and State Narrative Description (Describe the historic and current physical appearance and condition of the property. Describe contributing and noncontributing resources if applicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The George R. Ward house is located at 2438 Ferdinand Avenue on the west side of Manoa valley in Honolulu, on Oahu, Hawaii. Manoa valley is home to numerous historic homes, and many are found along Ferdinand Avenue. The sloping lot measures 23,600 sq. ft. and encompasses the entire space between Ferdinand Avenue and Sonoma Street. There are four buildings on the property including the main house, a former servants’ quarters, a garage, and a bomb shelter. There is also a carp pond with a decorative waterfall. The main house is an eclectic style that incorporates several styles and forms. The house’s overall form is truest to a bungalow, or even a later ranch style house, but its decorative elements are more in line with colonial revival and English cottage styles. The house faces Ferdinand Avenue, and has a sweeping view of Honolulu with Diamond Head and the ocean in the distance. The former servants’ quarters are located behind and slightly west of the main house, and are designed in a similar style. The garage is located at the southeastern corner of the lot, on Ferdinand Avenue, and is complementarily styled to the main house. Concrete stairs and paths lead from the garage to the house. The bomb shelter is located just behind the servants’ quarters, and is built into the hill behind the house so that, aside from its entry door, it appears to be only a basalt retaining wall. The carp pond is located behind the house, at the northeast corner, with the waterfall above it to the northeast. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The main house is one story, approximately H-shaped in plan with shorter wings on the western side and longer wings on the eastern side, and is 3,319 sq. ft. It has an asphalt shingle roof, wood and brick walls, and a concrete foundation with some open grillwork panels. The wood walls are weatherboard designed to appear as shingles. The house has a complex gable roof covered with asphalt composition shingles, as well as flat roof sections above the front porch and a rear section that was originally a back porch. Six gable ends are arranged in the following manner: two face Ferdinand Avenue at the bottom of the H-shape, two face Sonoma Street at the top of the H-shape, one faces east, and one faces west at the ends of the center bar of the H- shape. The relatively steep pitch of the gables is a common element of English Cottage or Tudor style, and the asymmetrical layout is common in both English Cottage/Tudor style as well as in Bungalows. The front gables have molded racings with cornice returns, consistent with Colonial Revival style. Louvered vents are located at each of the gables. Section 7 page 5 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 George R. Ward House Honolulu, Hawaii Name of Property County and State The window at the eastern gable front is plate glass, with decorative shutters on either side. There is an octagonal bay window at the western gable that has a plate glass central lite with jalousie windows flanking it and decorative shutters in turn flanking the jalousies. The remainder of the windows in the house are jalousie-type. The original windows in the house appear to have been double hung, and all existing windows are replacements.

    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.

    Book Reviews The First Strange Place: The Alchemy of Race and Sex in World War II Hawaii. By Beth Bailey and David Farber. New York: The Free Press, 1992. ix + 270 pp. Illustrated. Notes. Index. $22.95. The exotic—coconut palms and white sand beaches, tawny-skinned and almost naked young women, something called "Aloooooha!"—has long been the staple of Hawai'i's tourist industry. During World War II, however, the islands' visitors did not come voluntarily, and while some expected the exotic, others didn't know what to expect. They were frightened young men, drafted by their country to fight Hiro- hito. Many had never strayed fifty miles from the Iowa farm, West Virginia val- ley, or Philadelphia ethnic ghetto where they'd been born, reared, and too often ill-educated about the world beyond. In their wonderfully titled, beautifully written The First Strange Place: The Alchemy of Race and Sex in World War II Hawaii, Beth Bailey and David Farber examine the reaction of GIs and war workers to the islands. As the subtitle makes clear, they also look at the relationships between the young soldiers and the women who served as their island hostesses and helped them pass the time before leaving for the less hospitable beaches on Tarawa, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Bailey and Farber describe a wartime Hawai'i that was, first and foremost, terribly overcrowded. A prewar population of 258,000 soon mushroomed to more than a million, some 550,000 of whom were military. This overnight population expansion could not be accommodated.
