Charles Montague Cooke, Jr., House and Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau, National Register site in Manoa Valley, Honolulu, United States

The Charles Montague Cooke Jr. House features Tudor Revival architecture with basalt lava rock walls, half-timber details, and stone chimneys on a hillside location.

Built between 1911 and 1912 for Charles Montague Cooke Jr., the residence cost $40,000 and incorporated locally quarried materials throughout its construction.

The Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau, measuring 12 meters across, represents ancient Hawaiian practices and maintained gardens that provided food for the Waikiki community.

The Mānoa Heritage Center manages the property and offers educational tours that explore both the architectural elements and the religious significance of the site.

The 1992 restoration of the heiau walls utilized exclusively original stones from the location, following precise survey drawings from the 1930s.
