Abstract
The Lanikuhonua water tower is significant on the local level under criterion C as an example of a metal lattice tower, which is typical of its period in its design, materials, workmanship and methods of construction. The water tower is the only tangible structure to remain from Kamokila Campbell’s homesite, as her house and the cottage which stood on the grounds are no longer extant. The tower stored water obtained from artesian wells and provided water pressure to operate running water in the house and on the grounds. The water tower continued in operation until the early 1960s, when it was supplanted by the City and County’s city water system.
