Abstract
Built in 1913, the Waialua Courthouse is a Neo-Classical Revival building with simplified Greek elements. The building also features exaggerated, extended eaves which are a concession to the tropical climate as well as being a major element of the building’s style. The structure is wood frame with double wall construction. The foundation of this symmetrical, T-shaped building consists of stone footings in the front portion and concrete in the rear wing of the building. The Waialua Courthouse is significant as a fine example of the Neo-Classical Revival style with Greek elements. In addition, the building served as a civic center for the Waialua District of Oahu and originally housed a public health center, post office, court room, and cell block.
