The Teixeira House is associated with the residential development of the Kalihi Kai neighborhood in the first half of the 20th century and with this road's (formerly North Queen Street) period of transition to a mixed commercial-residential area, when it was extended in the 1930s with extensions connecting to downtown and to Kamehameha Highway. (North Queen Street was renamed Dillingham Boulevard a few years after the extensions.) It also embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, and method of construction, as a good example of a 1940s, single-wall, plantation-style dwelling.
