Weekend Reflections – Palace Theater – Hilo, Hawaii

Our guide on the big island of Hawaii took us by the Palace Theater in Hilo so I could take a few pictures. It is a grand structure and fortunately has been restored and is in use as a theater for both movies and musical performances. It was built in the 1920’s. It’s structural columns is redwood imported from the Pacific Northwest. Land is expensive in Hawaii, even back then so to maximize the use of space stadium seating is used which makes for a spacious lobby located underneath the stadium. This beautiful building was quite a find. I am always happy to see old buildings maintained and in use.

I like the 1920’s style. I wonder if the inside is Roaring Twenties style too.

At one time, I think every town and city had to have a Palace Theater. Amazing. They must have bred like rabbits.

Yes, we used to have a Palace Theatre not too far from here. Unlike your fine old example ours was demolished many years ago.
