Description

Iconic clock tower in Honolulu, HA. I really enjoyed taking this photo. Loved seeing the clock tower along the waterfront and the storm clouds in the background
The Story...
Aloha Tower was the tallest tallest structure in Hawaii when it was completed in 1926 at a cost of $190,000. It is now the most recognized building in the state and second only to Diamond Head as Hawaii�s most famous landmark.
Symbolizing Hawaii�s Aloha Spirit, Aloha Tower continues to function as the Harbor Master�s traffic control center for Honolulu Harbor and serves as a welcoming landmark for both cruise ships and container vessels. It is also a popular visitor attraction with elevator service to the tenth floor observation deck, boasting spectacular views of Diamond Head, Honolulu Harbor, Downtown Honolulu and the Koolau Mountains.
Owned by the State of Hawai�i and listed on both the Hawai�i and national Registers of Historic Places, The Tower was extensively renovated in 1994 by Aloha Tower Associates, developer of Aloha Tower Marketplace, at no cost to the taxpayer.
Attached to warehouse buildings on three sides when originally constructed, Aloha Tower now stands alone for the first time in its history as the proud symbol of Honolulu�s new waterfront.
