Address 45-3362 Mamane Street, Honoka'a, Hawaii 96727 TMK (3) 4-5-06:003 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-10-08-30891 Abstract The Honoka'a Public Library is an educational, cultural, and social intellectual hub of the community, and has been such since its erection in 1937.  The period of significance is associated with historic trends directly related to the commercial development of Honoka'a Town, and is associated with the increased enrollment at Honoka'a School as it expanded to include Honoka'a Junior High School.  The library building is also significant in its contribution to Hawaiian architectural design and construction.  It is an Hawaiian plantation-style vernacular building, which importantly serves the needs of the community as an educational, social, and cultural venue.  The architect was Harry Ka'onohi Stewart.

Address 45-3490 Mamane Street, Honoka'a, HI 96822 TMK (3) 4-5-006:014 SHPD Historic Site Number 50-10-08-30719 Abstract M.S. Botelho Building and Garage is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places on the local level under Criteria A (Events/History) and C (Architecture).  The Hilo Railway had reached nearby Pa'auilo in 1913, and many citizens hoped that the reorganized Hawai'i Consolidated Railway would be extended to Honoka'a's uptown.  Manuel S. Botelho made an investment here, buying this property in uptown in 1920-21 and constructing the building in 1927.  From that time, up to 1966 (and continuing on into the present) the building and garage has served many commercial purposes especially during the World War II years, as the hub of the town's military recruitment center, the USO headquarters, and the dance hall for off-duty relaxation for servicemen.  Its Territorial Period plantation-style building adapted easily to its many occupants, and today retains all the major characteristics of the original building's architecture.
