From the web: Residence of the last two royal rulers of Hawaii. Scene of transfer of government to the United States in 1898. From 1898 to 1960s, the palace served as the capitol of Hawaii. When built, the palace was the most elaborate structure in the Hawaiian Islands. Iolani Palace represents a time in Hawaiian history when King Kalakaua & his sister & successor, Queen Liliuokalani, walked the halls & ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Palace complex contains beautiful memories of grand balls & hula performances, as well as painful ones of Liliuokalani's overthrow & imprisonment. Since the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, the Palace has undergone many changes as it once served as the Capitol for almost 80 years & was later vacated & restored to its original grandeur in the 1970s. The cornerstone for Iolani Palace was laid on December 31, 1879 with full Masonic rites & construction was completed in 1882. The Palace was the official residence of the Hawaiian monarchs, where they held official functions, received dignitaries & luminaries from around the world, & entertained often & lavishly.
