A big mahalo to Olivier Koning for leading a recent photography seminar with AIA Honolulu of the Alexander & Baldwin headquarters located at 822 Bishop Street in Honolulu. Talented participants captured these beautiful images of our historic building, which recently celebrated its 95th birthday. Here are a few fun facts about 822 Bishop Street: * The project's chief architect was C.W. Dickey, a leading Hawaiian architect of his time, whose uncle was Mr. Samuel Alexander, one of the founders of A&B. * The building includes many Chinese, Mediterranean, Italian Renaissance, Buddhist, Tibetan, Japanese, and Hawaiian elements, and ornamentation. * Visible Chinese influence includes the water buffalo heads on the building exterior, the circular good luck symbols at the main entrance portico (ceiling), and the Chinese character for long life on the columns. * The underwater murals at the entrance to the building depict Hawaiian marine life in Chinese motifs. * Floor tiles resemble a tortoise, an animal that the Chinese revere as the symbol of longevity. * As you enter the lobby, the floor is covered in intricate black Belgian marble. The etched glass behind the reception desk is patterned after the 1928 designs. * An original oil painting by the late Hawaii-born artist Hiroshi Tagami is displayed in our lobby reception area. His commissioned painting, “Keokea,” is for the area of Upcountry Maui that inspired the artist. This painting links our company’s Honolulu headquarters to our Valley Isle roots. * Portraits of A&B’s founders grace our boardroom.

They are surrounded by copies of our annual reports, some of which date back to the early 1900s. Listed on the Hawaii and National Register of Historic Places in 1979, the A&B Building has earned numerous awards, such as the 1978 Outstanding Architectural Design award from the American Institute of Architects Hawaii Chapter, in conjunction with America’s bicentennial.
