es & Co., Honolulu, T. H. By IRVING F. MORROW* HONOLULU may consider itself favored in tiie possession of aliuilding of genuine importance. As far back as December, 1917,Tlie Architect and Engineer printed a series of striking drawingsby Mr. Louis Christian Muligardt, Architect, showing various aspects ofa proposed Commei-cial Center for the island city. The first of thesebuildings to be undertaken (in fact, the only one undertaken to date)was the building for Messrs. Theo. H. Davies & Co., Ltd. A selection ofworking drawings of this building, as well as photographs of a one-quarter inch scale plaster model, was presented in The Architect and En-gineer of March, 1920, along with a brief account of some of the consid-erations which had influenced the Iniildings conception and working out.The structure now stands compelted and occupied, and even at the riskof a cert.iin amount of repetition it will probably be worth while to runt)ver some of the more imjKJrtant matters involved.
