S. Hata Building, Historical commercial building in Hilo, Hawaii
The S. Hata Building stands with fourteen arched windows, reinforced concrete structure, and multiple storefronts on the first floor in downtown Hilo.
Japanese businessman Sadanosuke Hata constructed this Early Commercial style building in 1912 near the railroad tracks to support his growing retail enterprise.
The structure represents the achievements of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii's business sector during the early 20th century through its architectural and commercial significance.
The building maintains its original storefront configuration and remains an active part of downtown Hilo's commercial district, accessible to visitors year-round.
This building survived the 1946 Aleutian Islands earthquake tsunami and underwent restoration in the 1990s after nearly facing demolition.
