Lahaina
Hale Piula consisted of a large two-story stone building
with a surrounding piazza. It was built in the 1830's as
a palace for King Kamehameha III, but never completed. Although
the king was inspired to build a palace worthy of a monarch,
he preferred sleeping in a small grass hut on the property.
By the mid-1840s, the king was spending so much time in
Honolulu, the place fell into disrepair.
