Okay this picture should be familiar to anyone who went here, but would be completely unfamiliar to anyone who didn't take that walk

That's on the access road to get to Makapuʻu Lighthouse. What is that building there for, anyway?

Correct! And I have absolutely no idea what it was used for.

Looks like the spring across from Kunawai Park where there once was a place called Mochizuki Teahouse.

I like this guessing game. Where is this?

Hint: photo c. 1939- the building is still there today

I am really enjoying this. Moving there soon; can't wait to see it in realtime.

=========================
BZZZZZ sorry, wrong answer.
Another hint:
Thousands of people pass it every day, really... And it is fairly in the middle of the Honolulu business district.
If it makes you feel any better, I did not recognize this building either even though I was visiting it almost every day.

Kind of looks like this place that I shot recently down Pensacola from King. Across McKinley???

ding-ding-ding! D'Alani is the first contestant to chime in with the correct answer!

It is indeed the MCC. My daughter was in preschool there in 2006, but I could not recognize it when I saw those pictures from 1939. The car in the foreground is traveling mauka on Pensacola street near where Rycroft would be today.

Mel gets a consolation prize of some sort? Nice photo, by the way. I believe the modern photo is taken from nearly the same place as the old one except Mel was a little more mauka on Pensacola.

I just noticed that there is an existing thread for the picture guessing game in pa'ani.
