Address Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740 TMK (3) 7-6-016:013 SHPD Historic Site Number 10-37-7234 Abstract The Hale Halawai O Holualoa, also known as the Holualoa Stone Church Ruins and the Meeting House at Holualoa, is located on the north shore of Holualoa Bay across from Kamoa Point. The lava stone and coral mortar structure has an outside dimension of 30 x 60 feet. The walls are 26" thick and stand 11 feet tall. The roof and wood floor of the structure were removed in 1972 due to termite damage; thus the walls are open and exposed to the weather. The Hale Halawai O Holualoa is significant in the history of religion in Hawaii as the site of an early Congregationalist mission. The structure is also significant architecturally as it belongs to a class of mid-nineteenth century coral lime and lava stone structures.

Address 96-3150 Pikake Street, Pahala, Hawaii 96777 TMK (3) 9-6-005:008 SHPD Historic Site Number 10-69-7522 Abstract Typical of the rural plantation town of Pahala, Kau High and Pahala Elementary School in Hawaii County is the arrangement of classrooms with the large lanai that is used as both access and rainy day play area. The use of tongue and groove vertical board, single-wall construction on a post and pier foundation with a corrugated metal roof is typical of this genre. Also, the back most of these classrooms face the north to capture maximum light without direct sun, while the south side features the lanai for a wider overhang and shade. The single loaded open lanai is also appropriate for natural ventilation in Hawaii's trade wind climate. Built in the 1930s, Kau High and Pahala Elementary School is significant as an intact example of the rural school to serve the plantation community. This school reflects the time period on the County of Hawaii's building program of rapid expansion in plantation population and therefore educational needs in rural areas of the island. It is also a largely intact campus done by Frank F. Arakawa, County Architect and engineer. This school, built in the later years of the school building boom, utilizes some "Hawaiian Style" characteristics. Simple and vernacular in style, it is reflective of the surrounding plantation town it resides in.

The early 1920s saw the rise of the secondary schools with Hilo High being one of the most prominent concrete structures built. Kalanianaole, as well as Hilo High continue to express the Neo-Classical style. But as the population increased rapidly in the later 1920s and early 1930s and with the Depression of 1929, the County chose to build numerous wooden structures utilizing in-house architects and draftsmen. This school building type is evident in Honokaa, Kapiolani, Kau, Naalehu and the old Riverside Elementary School. Laupahoehoe School, the newest of the schools represented in this nomination was designed in 1947 after World War II. The school is one of the best examples [...]
