The room is dominated by the Chief Justice's massive koa desk, which was originally presented to King Kalakaua by students at Lahainaluna School. The desks in the offices of the Associate Justices, which were constructed as part of the restoration, follow the style of the period. The round, koa table in the corner of the room was in common use in offices pdor to 1911. The round desk, early photographs show, was used as the main desk with a roll-top desk placed against the wall as a credenza. The wooden chairs around the round table are originals and a ppear on a 1900 inventory of furniture owned by the Judiciary. ,

The round of what early offices in stairwell leads to the clock Ali'iolani Hale looked like. tower of Ali'iolani Hale. Construction History: The original wing of the building, a two-story structure fronting on King Street, was begun in April of 1872. Total construc­ tion costs was approximately $85,000, or $25,000 more than the original estimate. The first open house of Ali'iolani Hale was held on April 17, 1874, when the first session of the Legislative Assembly to be held in the new building was convened at noon. In 1911, the first major renovation of the build­ ing was undertaken. During the renovation the rotunda, with its stained-glass skylight and grace­ ful, curving stairweIls, were instaIled, and the nco-classic architecture of the interior, featuring modified doric columns, was added. In 1941, after a successful fight to keep Ali'iolani Hale from being torn down, the ground-floor story of the Queen Street wing was constructed. The second story was added in 1948. Restoration Theme: In 1976, Chief Justice Wil­ liam S. Richardson appointed an 17-member Ali'iolani Hale Restoration Committee to guide the project. Safe Door After completing its research, the committee This safe door was recommended that the 1911 period be foIlowed as installed during the 1911 renovation of the theme for the restoration of the interior of the Ali'iolani Hale when a building and that the exterior of the building be vault was constructed. restored to the 1874 period. It is now the entrance to the Visiting Justices' In addition, the committee recommended the Chamber. instaIlation of a Visiting Justice's Chamber which would be an authentic re-creation of a typical office of the building'S earliest period. Pnmarily, the interior restoration involved re­ turning the ceilings to their original 15-foot heights, restoring the doric architecture of the ceil­ ings and interior waIls, and duplicating furniture and light-fixtures in common use during the theme period. The exterior restoration involves two main objectives. The first was to restore the orginal 12- panes to the massive windows of the building and to ins taIl wooden shutters on the interior of the Offices of the Associate windows which was completed during Phase 1.
