Georges de S. Canavarro House
Georges de S. Canavarro House, Mediterranean Revival residence in Puunui, Honolulu, United States.
The Georges de S. Canavarro House features white stucco-covered masonry walls, red-tiled roofing, and a central courtyard with a fountain at 2756 Rooke Avenue.
Built between 1924 and 1927 for Georges de Souza Canavarro, son of Portugal's Consul-General in Hawaii, the property received National Register recognition in 1980.
The residence transformed into the Korean Cultural Center of Hawaii in 2002, serving as a meeting venue and museum for the Korean independence movement.
Located on the northwestern slopes of Nuuanu Valley near Oahu Country Club, the 6,700-square-foot property contains multiple bedrooms, a library, and separate baths.
The cross-shaped structure incorporates terraced floor levels adapting to the hillside terrain, providing views of both Nuuanu Valley and Honolulu harbor.
