Alexander & Baldwin Building

Honolulu


The 1929 headquarters of one of Hawaii's most powerful pre-war plantation and trading companies, this stirring structure combines powerful authority with tropical flair. Note the height of each floor and the veranda up top that rings the zenith of the palm-fronted and imposing facade.
