U.S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Naval Housing Area Makalapa, Carport Type with Rear Storage Areas, Makalapa, Halawa& Midway Drives, & Makin Place, Pearl City, Honolulu County, HI

Significance: The carports are important elements in the overall neighborhood because their siting, together with the housing and landscaping, provides a unity and variety that contributes to the character of the area. A carport is usually located between every two houses, and in close proximity to the street, while the residences are set back from the road. This alternation creates a character-defining pattern throughout the housing area. In addition, this carport design relates to the level of military rank; two parking stalls are assigned to the residences of the more senior officers.
