Sans Souci Architect: Hammarbarg & Herman 2877 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1961 The charm of San Souci, meaning “without care,” and its long history of hospitable lodgings date back to the late 1800s, with the original hotel immortalized by Robert Louis Stevenson. The crescent-shaped tower is oriented to maximize panoramic ocean views. Outrigger Canoe Club Architect: Vladimir Ossipoff & Associates; 2909 Kalakaua Avenue Wimberly, Whisenand, Allison & Tong Built: 1963 Originally founded in 1908, the current building is the third, constructed for the club under the direction of Walter McFarlane in 1963. Ossipoff’s signature inside-outside living concept also characterizes the clubhouse. Honolulu Elks Lodge #616 Architect: Bradley & Wong 2933 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1960 Established in 1901 in Honolulu, the initial address for the Elks was simply “Hawaii, T.H.” The Elks moved to their present site in 1920 after purchasing the 155,000-square foot Castle estate for $1.00 per square foot. Almost four decades later, the present day Elks Lodge, designed by Bradley and Wong, was constructed. Castle Surf Architect: Alfred Sturgis 2937 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1966 The James B. Castle mansion, known as Kainalu, once stood where today’s Castle Surf and Elks Club both stand. This six-story condo extends to the ocean and features charming details, such as the sculpture rising up the face of the building. The Tropic Seas Architect: Johnson & Perkins 2943 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1958 Developed by Johnson & Perkins and slightly set back from Kalakaua Avenue, the complex was constructed in two increments with the 12-story building getting underway only five months after the 10-story portion. Diamond Head Beach Hotel & Residences Architect: Jo Paul Rognstad 2947 Kalakaua Avenue Built: 1969 Featuring an open, breezy street front structure, this 16-story building was the last major condominium project constructed on the Gold Coast. The building footprint mirrors the particularly long, narrow site. It bears resemblance to the 10-story apartment located at 3056 Kalakaua
