Queen Emma Summer Palace or Hānaiakamalama, served as a summer retreat for Queen Emma, her husband King Kamehameha IV, and their son, Prince Albert. It is now a historic landmark, museum, and tourist site preserved by the Daughters of Hawai‘i. The frame of the home was built in Boston, in 1848, and shipped to Hawaiʻi via Cape Horn. It was then assembled on a property purchased by John Lewis from the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. It has six rooms, one story, and a porch with Doric columns in the Greek Revival style. The Palace was acquired by the Daughters of Hawaiʻi in 1913, narrowly avoiding the demolition of the house and construction of a baseball field on the grounds. The Territorial Government granted the Daughters use of the home and grounds if the home was used and maintained as a museum. Hawaii Visitors Bureau.Create Date
