Notes
  • Significance: Incinerator Number One achieves state and local significance in the areas of maritime and social history, as well as engineering and architecture under criteria A and C. Incinerator Number One is one of two facilities constructed by the City and County of Honolulu to dispose of waste from the nearby Ala Moana dump. The ash from the incinerator facilities was used to fill the seawall constructed over the shallow reef at Ka'akaukukui in the late 1940s. By 1956, twenty-nine acres of new land was added to the shoreline, dramatically altering Honolulu's coastal landscape. The building was used as a kamaboko (Japanese fishcake) factory in the 1950's, and today serves as a storehouse for the United Fishing Agency, which oversees the early morning auctions for the fishing industry. The design of the Italianate-style building, a style popular on the United States mainland in the early twentieth-century, reflects Hawaii's striving for legitimacy as an American territory. The improved physical environment was intended to persuade urban dwellers, many of them recent immigrants from Asia, to become imbued with civic patriotism and better disposed toward community needs.
