Dillingham Transportation Building, building in Honolulu, Hawaii, US

The Dillingham Transportation Building is a four-story structure on Bishop Street in Honolulu completed in 1929 and designed in Renaissance Revival style. It features Italian-inspired arches, Spanish terracotta tile roof, marble floors, and nautical decorative motifs including ships and twisted ropes.

Walter F. Dillingham commissioned the building in 1929; he founded the Hawaiian Dredging Company and ran the Oahu Railway and Land Company started by his father, Benjamin Franklin Dillingham. Los Angeles architect Lincoln Rogers designed it in Italian Renaissance Revival style. It joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and was restored by Architects Hawaiʻi Ltd. in 1980.

The building housed the Territorial Tavern in the 1970s, a gathering place for Hawaiian slack-key guitar music and local performances. It became central to the Second Hawaiian Renaissance, where musicians and audiences connected with the islands' traditional sound.

The building stands on Bishop Street in downtown Honolulu, a short walk from the city's main bus and business district. Visitors enter through the ground-floor lobby, where the marble floors and arched detailing are visible during weekday business hours. The upper floors are leased offices and not open to the public.

The building features nautical symbols including ships and twisted ropes in its decorative details, reflecting Hawaii's connection to the sea and shipping. These design elements connect the commercial purpose of the building to the maritime roots of the island's economy.
