Queen Emma Summer Palace, Honolulu, O‘ahu & Shikoku 88 Temples Pilgrimage Monument, Holualoa, HI

February 5, 2025 |
Historic architect Glenn Mason will recount preservation efforts and outcomes for two unique sites:
Queen Emma Summer Palace or Hanaiakamalama, built in 1848, was the secluded mountain-home and summer retreat of Queen Emma of Hawai‘i from 1857 to 1885, her husband King Kamehameha IV and their son, Prince Albert Edward. Listed on both the Hawai‘i State and National Registers of Historic Places, the Palace is a historic landmark, museum, and cultural site preserved by the Daughters of Hawai‘i.
The Shikoku 88 Temples Pilgrimage Monument, built in 1925, is a unique and significant marker of the cultural and religious connection between Japan and Hawai‘i, specifically linking to the Shikoku Pilgrimage, one of Japan’s most famous and revered pilgrimages. It is also a tribute to the Japanese immigrants who brought their religious and cultural practices to the islands.
Both projects received historic preservation grants through Historic Hawai‘i Foundation in partnership with the Freeman Foundation.
