Other historic buildings on the property include the 1932 Holy's Bakery, a simple single-wall tongue-and-groove structure as well as a Japanese bath house. The A. Nanbu Hotel/Holy's Bakery is significant as one of a handful of historic buildings remaining in the Kapaau commercial area and as one of the few remaining rural hotels in the state.
