Abstract
The Dillingham Boulevard Kamani Tree Rows Allee is significant under Criterion A as an important feature of Honolulu’s roadway and urban beautification efforts in the 1930s. The Allee represents the street tree planting and enhancement inspired by the City Beautiful movement of the 1890s through the 1900s, a reform philosophy that prevailed in the United States and Europe in response to changes brought by the industrial revolution. The Shade Tree Commission planted the kamani trees along Dillingham Boulevard. Of the original 100 trees planted in 1931 between N. King and Dillingham, 44 remain in this section.
