  • Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu
    Three Chinese Stores in Early Honolulu Wai-Jane Char Early in the nineteenth century, there were three Chinese stores in Honolulu, listed in The Friend on August 11, 1844 as "Samping [Samsing] & Co., Ahung & Co. [Hungtai], and Tyhune." The stores are long gone and forgotten, but they were significant among the commercial establishments of that time. The first store mentioned, Samsing Co., had a modest beginning in the 1830s, next to a bakery on Fort Street, in the middle of the block near the west entrance of today's Financial Plaza. Later Samsing Co. had a location on King Street facing south in the middle of the block between Bethel and Nuuanu Streets. Yat Loy Co. carried on a dry goods business there for most of the twentieth century.1 The second store mentioned was Hungtai Co., begun even earlier at the northeast corner of Fort and Merchant Streets, where today stands the multi-storied Financial Plaza. In 1838, the store moved to a building called the "Pagoda" on Merchant Street, facing the harbor, between Fort Street and Bethel, then not yet opened as a street.2 The third store, Tyhune, also started before the mid-3os, was at the south- west corner of Hotel and Nuuanu Streets. It was marked merely as "Chinese store" on a map drawn by Alexander Simpson in 1843, during contentions over the land claims of Richard Charlton.3 During the period the Chinese stores were in business, Honolulu changed from a small village into a flourishing town with lumber yards, wharfs, streets, schools, and churches.

  • Oral History of Harrison Spiegelberg
    Oral History of Harrison Spiegelberg My family came to Hawaii just before the turn of the century when my maternal great-grandfather General Edward Davis retired here after being the commanding officer of Camp McKinley, which was where the Waikiki Fire Station is located today. He was part of the first U.S. military presence in Hawaii and retired to a large home on Hastings Street today known as Nehoa Street near Punahou. After my great-grandmother passed away, “The General” moved in with his daughter and son-in-law at their home “Red Hale”, so named because of its red paint and the red dirt kicked up by the horses in Kapiolani Park across the street. This was on the beach at the end of Kalakaua Avenue where The Tahitienne co-op is located today. My mother was born here 10 days after they moved into their new home. The land was leased to a corporation in 1957 and was the first co-op and high rise at that end of Waikiki. My grandparents met at a Royal Ball held at Washington Place when Queen Liliuokalani was in residence in 1902 and were married at St. Clements Episcopal Church in Makiki in 1903. My father arrived in the islands in 1930 as a research scientist with the Pineapple Research Institute and met and married my mother in 1937. She graduated from Punahou in 1929. I was born Harrison Spiegelberg on May 1, 1942, May Day in Kapiolani Hospital. This was five months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I was born three months premature.
