These wood tenement buildings are a very rare example of an early-20th-century, high-density, wood-framed, residential cluster, typical in the A'ala area and Chinatown before massive urban renewal of the 1960s replaced the wooden buildings and narrow lanes with public housing. These buildings are important historically because of their association with the development of the A'ala neighborhood. They are an example of typical grouping and construction of early twentieth century tenement buildings in Honolulu.
