34 Yokohama Specie Bank Building in Honolulu, O’ahu, Hawaii

In 1880, the Yokohama Specie Bank became the first branch in Hawaii owned by Imperial Japan. 19 years later, a famous architect named Henry Livingston Kerr designed this Italianate building. Immediately after the bombing at Pearl Harbor, the bank was seized and became a military police station for the balance of World War II. Today, this gem with its triumphal arched doorway is a daycare center. It is located in the Merchant Street Historic District.
