H. Alexander Walker Residence, Neoclassical residence in Nuuanu Valley, Hawaii, US

The H. Alexander Walker Residence stands with grand columns and symmetrical proportions, featuring formal Japanese gardens containing ferns, rocks, and orchards.

Built in 1903 by George Rodiek, the residence later became home to H. Alexander Walker, president of American Factors, who had connections to King Kalakaua's cabinet.

The estate, named Mamalu meaning Shady Lawns, represents a fusion of Neoclassical architecture with Hawaiian residential traditions and Japanese garden design.

The residence, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973, maintains detailed documentation accessible through State Historic Preservation Offices.

During World War II, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz regularly dined at the residence, where Japanese chef Hara prepared meals despite wartime tensions.
