Wailuku - Civic Center Historical District
Clustered around Main and High Streets and the Kaahumanu Church are four government buildings of note.
The Wailuku Courthouse (1907) is neoclassical in design.
The County Office Building (1927) is Mediterranean in style.
The Wailuku Library (1928) and the Territorial Building (1931) use the Hawaiian style of architecture with a double-hipped roof. The architect on both was C.W. Dickey, who hails from Maui.
As a group, they add an historic flavor to the area.
