Notes
  • Significance: Construction having begun in Decmeber 1822 on land given to the First Mission Company by King Kamehameha II, the original Ramage Press was moved from the adjacent home of the Loomis family (the Mission Frame House) to the Mission Printing Office in late December 1823. The first printing in the new building was an edition of Hawaiian Hymns. Constructed of coral stone, conveniently located nearby, and material from a wrecked whaling ship, it soon proved inadequate for its original purpose, and in 1844 it was serving as a storehouse and dwelling, being united to the frame house. In 1851, together with the Frame House, it came into the possession of the Cooke family who occupied it for many years. It was acquired by the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society in 1907, eventually being ceded to them in 1925, serving as an office for the Society until 1950. Today, it contains a duplicate of the original press and is maintained as a museum in connection with the Frame House and the Chamberlain House.
