...Abstract
The Awong Brothers Store building is significant at the local level under Criterion A and it is historically important as representative of the development of Honoka’a town. The period of significance begins with the nineteenth-century completion of the Holmes/Moses/Lawson/Awong Brothers Store building (c. 1870s) and continues up to 1968 (the 50-year mark) recognizing the structure as an important center of commerce, and social and cultural activity in the Honoka’a community. The Awong Brothers Store is significant at the local level under Criterion C as a fine example of a wood commercial plantation-style building as rendered in wood, reflecting the materials and carpentry skills available at the time of construction in Hawai’i during the late nineteenth century.
