Abstract
Approved for Criterion A (Historic Events and Patterns) and C (Architecture and Engineering). The Pali Lanes is significant on the local level under Criterion A for its associations with the development of bowling in Hawaii during the 1950s and 1960s. It is also significant on the local level under Criterion C as a good example of mid-century modern design applied to a bowling center. Pali Lanes is one of only three privately owned bowling centers from the post-war period in Hawaii to remain in operation. Commissioned by the Skinner Corporation and designed by the architectural firm of Wimberly & Cook, the Pali Lanes opened to the public on May 20, 1961.
