The purpose of this Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) is to provide a vision for the Ford Island Chief Petty Officer’s (CPO) Bungalows Neighborhood and Battleship Row, part of the U.S. Naval Base Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark (NHL) District. Information about the significance, integrity, and condition of cultural landscapes is needed before making planning decisions about treatment and in many activities associated with the future management and preservation maintenance of the site. The CLR is the primary planning document for the treatment of the cultural landscape and provides site managers with a comprehensive understanding of the physical evolution of the cultural landscape, and guidance for the future landscape management. The cultural landscape of the CPO Bungalows Neighborhood and Battleship Row conveys the significance of the early development of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base on December 7, 1941, World War II, and early Cold War development. The US Navy developed the CPO bungalow neighborhood and mooring quays of Battleship Row as part other early development of the naval base. The neighborhood, like other housing areas on Ford Island, provided housing for military personnel to support operation of facilities on base. The mooring quays of Battleship Row were constructed in this early period as part of the naval base facilities. The Ford Island Chief Petty Officer’s bungalows are significant as a vernacular reflection of Hawaiʻi’s architectural solutions for low-cost housing. Additionally, the bungalows represent the only remaining historic residential development at Pearl Harbor built for enlisted US Navy personnel. Part I of the CLR includes the site history, existing conditions, and analysis and evaluation. Part II of the CLR focuses on the treatment of the cultural landscape, including the preservation strategy for long-term management of the cultural landscape based on its significance, existing condition, and use. The CLR builds upon the 2018 Cultural Landscapes Inventory for the Ford Island CPO Bungalows Neighborhood and Battleship Row. The CLR is tiered from the current Foundation Document for the park.
