Hulihe‘e Palace
Hulihe‘e Palace was built in 1838 by
Governor John Adams Kuakini, a companion of
Kamehahena I and one of the first Chiefs
to take up western ways.
Built of coral lava rock and a native woods,
it was handsomely furnished. Hulihe'e
became the Kailua residence of Princess Ruth
governess of Hawaii. King Kalakaua
redecorated it for use as his Summer Palace
and later it belonged to Prince Jonah
Kalaniana'ole, Hawaiian delegate to Congress.
In need of repairs for several years, the
palace was restored by the Daughters of Hawaii
in 1927 for use as a museum.
