Abstract
Approved for Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering). The Stangenwald Building in downtown Honolulu is a six-story Renaissance Revival office building with Italianate detailing. It was completed in 1901 and was designed by noted Hawaii architects Charles W. Dickey and Clinton B. Ripley. The Stangenwald Building is associated with the early commercial development of Honolulu and was the first “skyscraper” and the first “fire-proof” building in Hawaii. It was Honolulu’s tallest office building in the city for nearly fifty years, and held the offices of a number of very influential individuals and companies.
