Dr. Gustav and Betty Ecke first met Albert C. and Frances Zane Chock at the
Honolulu Art Academy, but their friendship was cemented when they became
neighbors. Their houses were separated by hairpin turns on the lone road that
joined windward O’ahu with downtown Honolulu. Avoided by many as the site
the path leading to the Nu’uanu Pali to build his home. Mrs. Chock’s fireplace
was the scene for many elegant society parties, which the Eckes attended, and
she maintained her friendship with Betty after Dr. Ecke’s death. Upon Dr. Ecke’s
recommendation, the Chocks acquired the huanghuali table and the huanghuali
chair (lot 999) for their home.
