Oahu Windward Side

McCorriston Lanikai Home

As an upcoming bank executive, Robert McCorriston hired an up-and-coming architect, Robert G. Miller, to build one of the “more extensive” beach houses on Lanikai Beach — the McCorriston Beach Home. Robert Miller, along with architects Hart Wood and C.W. Dickey, spearheaded the Territorial Era’s style of houses in Hawaii. As he worked on the McCorriston home, he also built many of Hawaii’s treasured landmarks of the era, including Honolulu Hale and the now historic homes for J.P. Mendoca, Riley Allen, Claude Swann, and the Richard Botley residence.
