  • What's That Place?

    Sorry, I thought there was a thread for trying to identify various places around the islands but I couldn't find it. But I was wondering, if anyone knows, what is/was that place that's across what used to be the CompUSA site downtown? It looks like an old fashioned, abandoned stone building/house with a chimney and two smaller structures behind it. I think it has been unused for a long time.

    it's an old Board of Water Supply pumping station. It's on the list of Historic Places.

      I think you're talking about the old Kakaako Pumping Station. There was an HT thread about that.

        Thank you so much! Out of all the things I have heard suggested (someone even thought it was a crematorium because of the chimney), no one suggested pump station. It is a pity that it is unused, though. It could be a really cool restaurant or museum or even office.

          Once upon a time on HT there was this really fun photo hunting game Pzarquon lead called Honolulu Zoom.
