Built in 1928 with substantial additions in 1951, this Spanish Colonial Revival-style building was designed by C. W. Dickey & Hart Wood, Robert Miller, and Rothwell Kangeter & Lester to house the offices of the City and County of Honolulu. The building features a white stucco exterior with an irregular footprint, red tile hipped roofs, a taller tower with faux juliet balconies, four pinnacles, and window trim, a shorter tower with an Art Deco-inspired massing, a large date stone and dedication plaque at one corner, and a juliet balcony at one window, ionic pilasters, steel windows, a front entrance with three double doors featuring blind arches with cartouches above, masonry screens with a variety of patterns, unadorned parapets, and a courtyard between the two wings added in 1951, which feature arched panels around the first and second floor windows, ionic pilasters between the third floor windows, and detailing nearly indistinguishable from the original building. A small one-story addition from after 1951 with a low-slope roof extends to the south of the front facade of the original building, and features windows separated by ionic pilasters. Inside, the building features a large enclosed courtyard-like atrium with a decorative painted wood beam ceiling, with frescoes painted by Einar Peterson, a grand staircase, encircling arched arcades and balconies, and several Juliet Balconies, modeled on the interior of the Bargello in Florence, Italy. The building continues to house some government offices and meeting spaces for the City and County of Honolulu, though it was supplemented with the construction of the high-rise Municipal Office Building nearby in 1973, and the acquisition of the Mission Memorial Building by the city in 1947. The building is a contributing structure in the Hawaii Capital Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
(Found while surfing the net...I only passed this along...NOT my work!....just thought it would make a great addition to the group pool)
A special addition to the Book of Names - one of only two extra pages that have been added to date. This one is a hand drawn and gilded portrait of عمر خیام (Omar Khayyam), a famous Persian poet.
The Book of Names is a special, ongoing quest. It is a collection of people - their names, languages, cultures, countries, hopes, dreams, values, and all they hold dear coming together in a spirit of mutual respect and human brotherhood. As of the beginning of 2015, the Book had been signed by 126 people from roughly 74 countries, 101 people groups and 73 languages.

The area was originally a 3 season porch. The existing deck was supported while the demolition/construction of the addition was being performed. The entire structure was removed down to the foundation. The foundation was built to match the height of the existing house. According to the supplied architectural plans, the new structure was built. The roof lines were integrated into one another, siding was blended from old to new, and the deck was attached to the new addition. The new addition was to accommodate the new kitchen. All the necessary pluming, electrical, and structural work was performed. The new kitchen featured a cathedral ceiling, sky light, oak floors, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a teak center island and dining table.
on Sunday June 22 we hosted a party in the Pittman Addition Hydro Park. We had a band play and offered some snacks to the folks that stopped by the park. It was a beautiful day and I think everyone had a great time.

Excavation is finished. Note the soil pipe running precariously across the opening from the house to the tanks.
The latest addition to Caledonian MacBrayne's fleet - several years late and hundreds of millions of pounds overbudget and delivered in November 2024 - visited the Western Isles in the first few days of January 2025 for berthing and endurance trials to assess her possibilities as a future relief vessel on both the Ullapool to Stornoway and Uig Triangle route.
She berthed overnight at Stornoway on 3 January, and carried out berthing trials there as well as at Lochmaddy and Tarbert (Harris) before moving onto Ullapool for overnight berthing, and testing that linkspan the next morning before returning south. Trials at Uig (Skye) were not carried out due to further construction works there that the Highland Council call "port authority restrictions". She will likely visit there for trials another time in the future.
She is due to enter service on the Troon to Brodick service she was built to serve on 13 January, although Ardrossan still requires significant rebuilding to accommodate her.
I managed to photographer her at both Stornoway and Tarbert, as shown here. She certainly looks to be a very impressive vessel in spite of the controversy surrounding both her and Glen Rosa's procurement process. I look forward to my first sailing on her.

This bra the latest thing to be found in the Pittman Addition Hydro Park, it's to the branch of a tree. The condos have a nice view of the new piece of art, I wonder how much these units will go for. We thought they were going to be owner occupied, but it nows seems that all but 1 or 2 of them will be rentals.
The framing work is done, showing where the two story addition will be as well as the enclosed patio and new covered patio.
