Description:
|
KONA COAST. With an exterior constructed almost entirely of lava rock and coral mortar, Hulihe'e Palace is one of the Big Island's more unique structures – and one of only three royal residences on US soil. Built entirely of local materials – the architect used koa wood to give the place its distinctive New England charm – the home serves as a reminder of somewhat recent Hawaiian history. Most of the royal family's personal effects are still displayed, including the original hand-carved koa furniture and 19th-century oddities. Although no longer occupied, the home still serves as the setting for special events, including 12 annual hula concerts that commemorate members of the royal family. |
