The book documents how the buildings has evolved over more than a century, both in reputation and use, culminating in the recently completed restoration process that began in the nineteen-eighties. Featuring beautifully rendered architectural plans, historic images, and lush contemporary photography, Palace of State makes a comprehensive study of an iconic nineteenth-century landmark that continues to serve in its role as a monumental setting for statecraft."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library R -- Federal Documents 725.12 Pa Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList
