Address 851 Fort Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 TMK (1) 2-1-014:004 SHPD Historic Site Number Not Yet Available Historic Designations: Hawaii State Register of Historic Places Abstract Approved for Criterion A (Historical Events and Patterns) and Criterion C (Architecture and Engineering).  The Judd Building was four stories at its completion in 1899 and was called “the beginning of the Honolulu skyscrapers.”  It was the first building in Honolulu constructed exclusively for use as rented office space and one of the first to have an electric passenger elevator.  It is a refined Beaux Arts style building with two main façades flanking a chamfered corner and is an irregular parallelogram in plan. The Judd Building was designed by famed American architect Oliver Traphagen.  He was also the architect for the Moana Hotel in Waikīkī, and downtown buildings such as H. H. Hackfeld Building, the Boston Block and the Lewers & Cooke Building.  The Judd Building was constructed immediately after Hawaii became a U.S. territory. It is notable that two of the Judd Building’s first renters, C. Brewer & Co. and Alexander & Baldwin, were two of Hawaii’s Big Five companies and that the presidents of these companies cofounded the Bank of Hawaii.

The Haleiwa Jodo Mission has survived while looking after plantation workers in the Main Sugar Strike of 1920, disruptions from Marshall Law during WWII, as well as multiple tsunamis while standing in its current location.
