Kohala District Courthouse
The Kohala District Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Kapaau on the island of Hawaii. The courthouse was built in 1889 to serve as a district court for the Kingdom of Hawaii; it continued to serve as a courthouse through U.S. annexation and Hawaii's eventual statehood, only closing in 1975. It was designed in the style of a traditional Hawaiian plantation house, which is reflected in its wide lanai, single-walled exterior, and corrugated metal roof; the ornamentation on its lanai sets it apart from other local buildings. A statue of Kamehameha I, who was born in Kohala, stands in front of the building.
