Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | ʻIolani Barracks, or Halekoa (house of warriors) in Hawaiian, was built in 1870, designed by the architect, Theodore Heuok, under the direction of King Lot Kapuaiwa. Located directly adjacent to ʻIolani Palace in downtown Honolulu, it was the headquarters of the royal guards to the reigning monarch. The structure clearly harkens to the architecture of medieval castles of Europe with its crenelated parapets and towers. It was constructed with coral block walls from the same limestone source used to build Kawaiahaʻo Church and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace and has a slate roof. It is surrounded by rooms once used by the guards as a mess hall, kitchen, dispensary, berth room, and lockup. |
