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.

"The small “cottage” was added in 1958.."

If you go to the link I provided which is the actual Assessors site in the other posting I made to you, on the left click on "Other Improvements" you will see that there are No Records Found. Zillow is not an accurate web site. You can bet if they had a cottage out there it would be listed and they would collect taxes on it.

A side note. Property is expensive in Hawaii, this property is now over $600,000 but their property taxes are cheap. Only $2,400 on that amount. We pay that much in property taxes on an assessed value of $186,000.

I know you are well aware of this, but I thought for others, it might be of interest. I had Googled various threads and I got "Obama's boyhood homes". This lead to the Honolulu Advertiser. com thread. It did show a small sort of trailer, a tastefully and lovingly cared for property. It was said to be at the back of the house on the Kalanianole Highway- unless I have it wrong.

Of course this proves little, except that it did exist as a sort of addition to the main building and separate.
