Hale Ali'i, the old Palace
Historical photograph taken before 1879.
The current Iolani Palace was built on the site of the previous one, pictured here. King Kamehameha III acquired this building in 1845 for use as his palace and seat of government. At that time it was named "Hale Ali`i" and was renamed "Iolani" in 1863 by Kamehameha V in honor of his late brother. By the late 1870s, it was in poor condition and was torn down.

This street-level image of the current capitol in Honolulu does not show the rooftop terrace or the reflecting pool around the base of the building. These and other features are surprising and symbolic of the Islands.
