Dole Pineapple Stand in 1965
Wahiawa
Dole Pineapple built a roadside stand outside Wahiawa in 1951. The first, simple building was replaced by this modern structure in February 1965. Designed by Leo S. Wou, the jagged outline was inspired by the ridges of the Koolau and Waianae mountain ranges visible from the site in central Oahu. The cedar shakes on the exterior referred to the rough skin of a pineapple. A second floor was a "lookout" over the surrounding pineapple fields; this had become a gift shop by 1971<br /><br />On the night of May 4, 1971, the Dole Pineapple Stand was completely destroyed by fire. A cryptic note left at the scene said it had been burned as an act of political protest, but this could not be confirmed. The stand was rebuilt substantially the same but not identical, with the replica opening on November 1, 1972.

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
Kohala Coast, Hawaii
Post Cards of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. <br /><br />The hotel is completely open on the interior with landscaped gardens and terraces.
<p>The Mauna Kea was developed by Laurance S. Rockefeller. His original concept was a cluster of individual cottages along the beach, with no televisions or air-conditioning to interfere with the natural environment of the Kohala Coast.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The final concept by architects Skidmore Owings Merrill was a single-building refined by lead architect Charles Bassett. Air-conditioning proved to be crucial in the warm, nearly always sunny South Kohala climate. But from 1965 to 1995, the hotel operated without guestroom televisions as Rockefeller had always intended.</p>
<p>When it opened in July 1965 with 154 guest rooms after a $15 million build-out, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel was the most expensive hotel ever built. What were viewed as exorbitant room rates started at $43 per night, including breakfast and dinner in the Pavilion, which featured international cuisine.</p>
<p>A new Beachfront Wing was added in 1968, designed by Honolulu architects Wimberly, Whisenand, Allison, Tong and Goo, with interior design by Phyllis Brownlee. Original paintings by John Young were commissioned for the guest rooms, and the Batik restaurant and Lounge was also added.</p>
<p>The original 18-hole championship golf course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.</p>
