The original info is posted on the long thread and it was given from both zillow and the county assessor’s. The small “cottage” was added in 1958 but when Freepers looked at the info after the ba was posted on the web it was very curious. Originally if one went to google maps and typed in that address the result was it couldn’t be found. The only way to map it was to put UH at Manao and the other addresses in and then put that address in!(Kamehameha Ave., University Ave., Atherton Y.M.C.A., and 625 11th Ave.) Now if one goes to google maps that address comes right up and is labelled as Jr’s first address in HI. Likewise if one now goes to google maps and puts in 6075 Kalanianaole Hwy (which is the neighbor’s address who has sworn the Obamas and Dunhams never lived there in 1961) the result is that the address cannot be found! Once again other addresses have to be included with the neighbor’s address in order for it to appear. It is actually right behind the ba address.
An architect named Nani Smethurst has owned the ba property since 1979. C on the map was originally labelled as a cottage, not a garage.
At first, I thought the 2nd page displayed the 2nd story of the main house, however, I believe that it would be noted as such in the record. Instead, it's referred to as ‘main square footage,’ and the dimensions (14’ x 32’) aren't jiving with the main house. Further, as a life long carpenter, I wondered if the 14’ x 32’ dimension simply represented a smaller upstairs area. Upon viewing the overhead image from google earth, I saw no evidence of a roof structured in such a way, as to support the possibility of a smaller upstairs, therefore I believe that the 448 sf main area IS the cottage.
In one of the many threads, an image of the cottage was posted. The image is of the front and appears to have been taken from about 20’-30’ away. The dominant color of the exterior at the time the photo was taken was blue.
I posted a number of facts at one of the many BC threads, to Chief Engineer, regarding the assessor's information on the subject address.
Google maps hasn't photographed or added the option of a street view in this area of Honolulu yet, so there's no way to access a peek behind the house (at the ground level) from the comfort of one’s home.
It could have been a rental, at one time or another. It needs to be determined when the structure was built, as it may have been at a time, after the main house was constructed. If that is the case, it would raise suspicions further, that the Obama’s did not stay at this address after Junior’s birth.
