I looked through that first link quickly, and this is what I found, if theres something more there, show me:
From very early on he felt this Hawaiian support after he invested in property on the windward
side of Oahu first in Kahaluu, then in Hauula where the family remained for seven years with the
addition of several children. Davis seemed to feel welcome in Hauula and only moved to the leeward
Kalihi Valley in 1956 for its convenience and proximity to hospitals, schools, and work in Honolulu. He
recalls:
For seven years Helen and I lived at Hauula, a predominantly Hawaiian village on the ocean
some 31 miles from Honolulu. When I began driving daily to town and back, local boys who knew
my schedule often waited beside the highway, sometimes for as long as three hours, to flag me
down and ask questions about their personal lives, explaining, youre not haole so I know I can
trust you. In Hauula I joined the Democratic precinct club, virtually ran the organization and was
sent to the state convention by the predominantly Hawaiian membership who told me that since I
was educated and articulate, I could speak for them (1992:316).

THE REFERENCE TO THE FIRST LINK CAN BE FOUND ON #420.
I think it’s clear enough now that FMD and his family were no where near the address that was raided in 1952.
What does that sign say? Waikiki Lodge, NO 1304? Something more, obscured.
Isn't that the house where we were told the exterior of the windows matched the interior of the windows...where the model with the earrings and stockings was posed...and Gilbert found a piece of flooring in a shed there, that matched the floor in the house where the photographs were taken of the model, who is supposed to be Stanley Ann Dunham, but isn't...
What we need now is some helpful freeper who knows how to access county records, to tell us when that house was built, it looks most UNLIKE a 1960 house to me...and if it isn't, where does that leave the windows and the floor? (Not to mention the girl who was supposedly wearing Helen Canfield Davis' high heeled shoes.)
SO WHAT WAS IT? A TUDOR STYLE HOUSE OR A FOUR STORY RESIDENCE?
THIS ENTRY SAYS THE TUDOR STYLE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1927

“..In the 1950s and 1960s, the 2994 Kalihi Street address was a four-story residence with a seedy past in the sex trade in Hawaii.
Gilbert believes Davis lived on the lower two floors, which had separate entrances and utility bills, while the Negro Elks Clubhouse was operated on the upper two floors.
As seen in Exhibit 2, Gilbert obtained a photograph from the Honolulu police archives that documents a vice raid conducted on the Negro Elks Clubhouse at 2994 Kahili Street, before Davis rented the house.
Exhibit 2: Vice raid conducted by Honolulu Police Department at the Negro Elks Clubhouse at 2994 Kalihi Street on Dec. 20, 1952
The HPD photograph shows black servicemen being led out of the Waikiki Lodge of the Negro Elks Clubhouse with a uniformed Navy MP with a camera and a flashlight in a joint HPD and military police vice raid conducted Dec. 20, 1952.
The Honolulu Advertiser reported at the time that the club was closed for being a disorderly house and for selling liquor without a license.
The photo documents that the Kalihi Street address was notorious before Davis moved there, Gilbert told WND.
Davis fit right in, he said. He was a poet who used drugs, wrote about jazz music and lived a Bohemian life-style, starting various small businesses that all seemed to fail and struggling to make ends meet.
Gilbert argued that 2994 Kalihi Street, a Tudor-style house built in the then-countryside, was a perfect residence for Davis to rent...”
Honolulu Record, May 10, 1951. Page 4:
The mystery of Sgt Chris Faria’s leave to the Mainland was intensified a little more last week when charges against certain men for alleged gambling at the Waikiki Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks had to be nolle prossed because Faria was not around. Wonder how many other cases had to be dropped when Faria was given a leave - with a civil suit and an assault and battery charge pending against him in the courts...
Doesn’t give the address, but if the Elks Club was in a four story building, it’s certainly not the same address as the Tudor house the Davis family were renting after 1957.
It seems that the caption doesn't belong with the image, and I don't see anything other than a bunch of people walking along at night time, under a sign that says Waikiki Lodge NO 1304 (something) and talking to a uniformed sailor holding a flashlight.
