Plantation Estate is a single-story, wood frame, Pacific Ocean-front house at 55 Kailuana Place in Kailua, Honolulu County, Hawaii, which President Barack Obama rented for use as a Winter White House during his Christmas vacations from 2008-2011. The house is less than a mile south of the Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Obama works out at the Semper Fit Center at the base and attends dinners there during his visits. He also swims in the ocean at the base of Pyramid Rock. ==History== The house was originally built and occupied by Harold Kainalu Long Castle in 1948 and was designed by the Honolulu architects Ives and Hogan. The house was added to the Hawaii Register of Historic Places on August 2, 2009, and was identified as the Harold Castle Beach Residence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Plantation Estate )〕 Among other buildings by Albert Ely Ives (1898–1966) is the Kaneohe Ranch Building which is on the National Register of Historic Places. George Hogan (1914–2009) designed numerous houses on the island and the Hamilton Library at the University of Hawaii. The Castle family sold the house in 2003 to Paul Sullivan. Sullivan extensively remodeled, adding among other things a lava rock pool, hot tub and eight waterfalls. He sold it in January 2008 for $9 million to Houston, Texas, investor Kevin Comcowich (after dropping the price from its listed $11.9 million). Comcowich has rented the house out for between $2,500 to $3,500 a day. The specifications for the house describe it has having interior space on land area of 27,131 feet. The house is in the Paradise Point Estates gated community at Paradise Point. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plantation Estate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
