From plantation days to 1900s-era advertisements, trolleys on King Street and a few surfing legends, here are photos of life in Honolulu from 1900 to 2000.
Each year, we look for our state’s most endangered historic places through a partnership with the Historic Hawaii Foundation and the State Historic Preservation Division. The list is a call to action, but it’s also a way to appreciate the hidden treasures of our built environment.

After a thorough renovation, about all that's left of Honolulu’s most infamous strip club is the legendary neon sign out front, and the memories of Hubba Hubba’s lurid past.
