Aliiolani Hale, Palace and Supreme Court building in downtown Honolulu, United States.
Aliiolani Hale features an Italian Renaissance Revival design with concrete blocks cast to resemble cut stone and a four-story central clock tower.
King Kamehameha V laid the cornerstone in 1872 for what was intended to be a royal residence, but the building became government offices after his death.
The name Aliiolani Hale translates to House of Heavenly Kings in Hawaiian, reflecting the monarchy's influence on governmental institutions.
The Hawaii State Supreme Court maintains its chambers in this building at 417 South King Street, which also houses a museum of legal history.
A time capsule buried during the 1872 cornerstone ceremony was discovered in 2005 using ground-penetrating radar technology.
