TOWER

In September of 1926, Honolulu’s fathers completed what they thought was a fitting structure to hail the periodic boatloads of tourists then calling at Honolulu Harbor. Since travel to the Islands was done then entirely by sea, the building was intended to create a lasting impression, both for arriving passengers and a farewell for those departing. It was built on the water side of the piers at which most of the stately liners of the day docked.
The building was a slender, square-shaped tower topped by a domed cupola with balconied openings on all four sides. Below the cupola was a large clock, a face on each side. Between each clock face and cupola balcony, etched in letters big enough to see for some distance in any direction were the letters A-L-O-H-A.
