Built in 1927, this Renaissance Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival-style building was designed by York & Sawyer to house the offices of the Hawaii Electric Company. The trapezoid-shaped building features a reinforced concrete structure clad in white stucco, with a red tile hipped roof and low slope roof, a setback at the south corner of the building with an octagonal tower featuring an open top level with arched openings, pink terra cotta trim and pilasters, and a small decorative lantern atop the roof, banded tan terra cotta trim at the top of the building and between the second and third floors, an arcade on the first floor along the Richards Street facade with arches supported by decorative columns and a painted ceiling by artist Julian Garnsey, large arched windows on the ground floor, recessed entrances on the Merchant Street and King Street facades, and arched windows on the fourth floor. The building is a contributing structure in the Hawaii Capital Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
