Iolani Palace - a photo on Flickriver

Iolani Palace

            Was the official residence of the Hawaiian Kingdom's last two monarchs - King Kalakaua and his sister and successor, Queen Lili`uokalani. The cornerstone was laid on December 31, 1879 and King Kalakaua and Queen Kapi`olani moved in December 1882.  Following the King's death, his sister was proclaimed queen on January 29, 1891. Her monarchy was overthrown in 1893. In 1895, an abortive attempt by Hawaiian royalists to restore her to power resutled in her arrest. She was forced to sign a document of abidcation and endured a military trial in what was once her throne room. She was sentenced to 5 years of hard labor which was commuted to imprisonment in an upstairs bedroom of Iolani Place where she was denied any visitors other than 1 lady in waiting. After her release she remained under house arrest at her private home. 

After the overthrow of the monarchy the Palace became the government headquarters. It was used for almost 75 years as a capitol building, during which time the Palace fell into disrepair after years of abuse and neglect. Government officials vacated the palace in 1969 and following resoration, the Palace opened to the public in 1978 

It is the only official state residence of royalty in the United States.
