Fine woodworker Chris Reiner to the rescue! A piece of fascia near the front door was threatening to fall off. Chris had previously salvaged redwood planks from an Ossipoff home that was being renovated just for Liljestrand House use! See the photo gallery below for a not often seen view of the gutters behind the fascia.
So incredibly refreshing to see a residence unmolested by unsympathetic ownership. The personal touches, stories and tales from the last 67 years provide an amazing tapestry from which we can appreciate this architectural masterpiece. May the preservation of this house inspire not only its’ preservation but also that of other modernist examples in Hawai`i. Thank you.
The Liljestrand House is listed on the Hawai‘i State and the United States National Register of Historic Places.
