Abstract
The ILWU building is eligible for the Hawai’i and National registers of Historic Places at the Local Level under Criteria A (Events/History) and C (Architecture) due to its continued significance as a community center and its Quonset hut architecture. Under Criterion A, the building physically represents the embodiment of the unification of many ethnic groups for the goal of achieving equitable labor conditions for those working in the Hamakua sugar industry. Under Criterion C, it is a good example of a World War II period, SSAR 40 Quonset hut in Hawai’i, and one of the few remaining Quonset huts in the area.
