U.S. Post Office, Court House & Custom House, Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii
Designed in 1918 by the New York architectural firm of York and Sawyer, the "U.S. Post Office, Court House, and Custom House" in Honolulu, Hawaii, is a good example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Treasury Department architects designed this 1929 addition which followed the style of the original building. Both the original and the three-story extension featured thick plaster walls, arched openings, and deep overhanging tile roofs. Two symmetrical marble stairways led to the second-floor courtrooms.
