Honolulu Real Estate | Kaimuki Historic Homes
Sat, March 9, 2013 by By Yvonne Ahearn (B), Realtor-Broker I was recently interviewed for a This Old House article on historic Oahu homes. They are doing a 2013 feature on best Historic Home Neighborhoods nationwide and this year, for Oahu, they are featuring the Kaimuki neighborhood. For the article, I went out and took some photos (see below) of some great looking old Kaimuki homes and landmarks. Some are on the Hawaii and National Historic Register and others were just cute. Overall, this is a good sampling of homes you might see in Kaimuki, though these are some of the ones in nicer condition.
About the Kaimuki Neighborhood of Honolulu, Oahu:
“Kaimuki was one of Honolulu’s earliest subdivisions, having started over 100 years ago. Some of the larger lots were used for substantial and impressive homes, like the one in this photo, which is constructed of rock quarried in the neighborhood. But even if the houses were somewhat grand, many of the streets remained unpaved for years. It was intended that residents would primarily use the Honolulu Rapid Transit Co. electric streetcars for transportation, as the line ran in the middle of Waialae Ave. and terminated at the top of the hill at Koko Head Ave. But this period was also when automobiles began to increase substantially, and they actually proved more useful for Kaimuki dwellers.” (L. E. Edgeworth, Bishop Museum)
