We believe this photo to be from the Hanakiki Garden Apartments: http://ochistorical.blogspot.com/search?q=Tiki http://tikiarchitecture.blogspot.com/2012/01/mystery-tikis-hana-kiki-apartments.html I went and checked it out a couple of years ago. That place should be called "Quiet Village" apartments: Though completely de-tikified, is is set back from the street at the end of a little cul-de-sac, and the intact A-frame gabled bungalows are sunken in lush foliage and shady trees, it is a real island in the suburban sea.
