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.
6075 Kalanianaole Hwy . Is this the correct address?
The house from the birth announcement address was built in 1949 and the small cottage in the back yard was built in 1958.
