The Charles Gay residence is architecturally significant as a good example of a turn-of-the-century kamaaina residence on Kauai. The multi-building plan of the residence is very similar to traditional Hawaiian architecture, and eighteenth and nineteenth century western architectural designs employed in warmer climates. Such a design allows for separation of living/sleeping and food preparation/dining, and is very amenable to serai-outdoor living. The house is distinguished by its high integrity of design and materials, and it stands as one of the last houses of its period and style to remain in Hawaii. - US NRHP
