Abstract
The O’ahu Railway & Land Company site includes both the Terminal Depot and Office & Document Storage buildings. The property is significant under Criterion A for its association with O’ahu Railway & Land Company. OR&L built O’ahu’s rail system providing transportation for the sugar and pineapple plantations, military, and residents of O’ahu and advancing growth across the island. The property is also significant under Criterion C. Built in 1925 and designed by Guy Rothwell, the Depot is a two-story Spanish Mission Revival Style building constructed of stucco-covered, reinforced concrete with a gable-on-hip roof covered with red barrel tile and a four-sided clock tower and first story arcade. Built in 1914, the Office & Document Storage Building is a rare surviving example of Classical Revival Style architecture in Honolulu and exhibits several of its distinctive features including an accented front door with a pediment supported by pilasters and a symmetrical fa<;ade with centered doorway. The OR&L Terminal Property was previously placed on the Hawai’i State Register of Historic Places. This is an update to the original nomination form.
