The Aloha Tower of Honolulu


Aloha Tower is located on Pier 9 at Honolulu Harbor, southwest of downtown Honolulu at the original terminus of Fort Street. Built in 1926 as part of a larger harbor construction project, the ten-story tower stands 184 feet tall and is framed by historic terminal buildings at Piers 10 and 11 to the north, the Aloha Tower Marketplace to the south, the water of Honolulu Harbor to the west, and a palm tree-lined promenade to the east. Aloha Tower is an Art Deco style building and is square in plan. It is constructed of reinforced concrete covered in stucco. The tower has a prominent base with four large, arched entryways in a cruciform plan. The shaft of the tower is narrower than the base and has four identical elevations each with an upright band of windows terminating in a large clockface under a projecting 10th floor observation deck with balconies. Balustrades read “ALOHA.” The roof of Aloha Tower tapers from four, stylized, stucco-covered spires to one larger, convex-curved, pointed, hipped roof of green cement plaster topped with a widow’s walk and a 40-foot yardarm with rigging. There have been changes to the tower as well as surrounding buildings, but Aloha Tower retains much of its integrity of location, workmanship, and association. Alterations to the base of Aloha Tower, the replacement of windows and doors, and the construction of Aloha Tower Marketplace reduce the integrity of the building’s design, materials, setting, and feeling.… Weiterlesen The Aloha Tower of Honolulu
