I'm a little late getting back to this but I did go to the Diamond Head apts in 2012 and a couple other times including last week. Unfortunately the undamaged tiki shown above had rotted at the base and was cut up with a chainsaw and sent to the dump. The tiki missing its jaw has been shortened and stuck back in the earth.

The tiki in the bush this week...

and in the same bush 5 years ago.

Another loss is the sign above the office.. I took this photo 5 years ago but now it also is gone.

The office and rec room are the same design as at the other complexes built by H. A. Briggs. There's a manager there who has been with them over 20 years who told me that in front of the office along the road there once were between 3 to 5 large tikis that also had rotten at the base and were removed. She said there may be photos from staff birthdays with them standing in front of them and she'll see if she can find any.
