Merchant Street Historic District
Merchant Street Historic District, Commercial district in downtown Honolulu, United States.
The district extends from Fort Street to Nuuanu Avenue, featuring low-rise brick and stone buildings dating from the 1850s to the 1930s.
In 1973, this area received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for its role as the financial center of Hawaii.
The district contains buildings representing various architectural styles, including the Kamehameha V Post Office, constructed with innovative precast concrete blocks in 1871.
Many original structures now serve as government offices, financial institutions, and commercial spaces within walking distance of downtown Honolulu.
The district features Hawaii's first passenger elevator, installed in the Judd Building of 1898, which housed major corporations until 1927.
