Keōua Hale

Keōua Hale was the mansion of Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani at 1302 Queen Emma Street in downtown Honolulu, Hawaii.

The mansion was built upon the site of Ruth and her adoptive son Leleiohoku's residence in Honolulu, Kaʻakopua.

The main architect behind new structure was Charles J. Hardy, an American from Chicago, employed at the Enterprise Planing Mill in Honolulu.

Surrounded by extensive, well-kept gardens, it was characterized by mansard roof, broad lanais, from which lofty flights of steps led down into the gardens, and a large drawing-room upon the ceiling of which was emblazoned the Hawaiian coat of arms.

But after these festivities the princess was taken suddenly ill, and left for Kailua on Hawaiʻi island hoping to restore her health.
