Building Preservation Plan of Selected Historic Homes for Hickam Air Force Base
The houses built for officers and enlisted men from 1937 through 1941 are considered important cultural resources within Hickam's Historic District. Seventeen officers' houses and nine enlisted men's houses were chosen to represent one of each historic housing type. Mason Architects devised a Building Preservation Plan to retain the remaining original architectural features of these houses and to guide future modifications to the existing non-original features so that they complement the architectural character of the houses' original designs.
- In Phase 1, all existing data - drawings, documents, reports - on the selected homes was examined.
- In Phase 2, each of these units was surveyed to determine existing conditions and the extent of alterations over the years.
- Most houses had at least one addition; lanai had been enclosed, bathrooms added.
- New roofs or floors had been laid on top of the originals, windows and lights replaced, kitchens and bathrooms modified.
- Air conditioning units mounted in windows had damaged window frames and walls.
- In Phase 3, historically significant architectural elements -- layouts, materials, details -- were identified within each home.
- In Phase 4, specifications were developed for the maintenance and repair of those elements in accord with the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings.
