History
Located in
The concept for Wai'oli Tea Room was based on the high tea traditions of British Columbia emigrants living in Hawaii at the time it was built in 1922.[4] Waiʻoli used "high tea" and "afternoon tea" to mean the same thing.[6][7] Over the years, it has been a popular venue for local residents as well as tourists.
The historic building
The original one-story lava rock and shingle bungalow features an open lānai (veranda), a large room with an open-beam ceiling, fireplace, and tall double-hung windows, and another smaller room with a fireplace. It was designed by Emory & Webb, a successful Honolulu architectural firm of the era, to harmonize with nearby residences.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings on Oahu on October 30, 1998.[9] When it was originally built in 1922, there was one L-shaped wing. A 1926 addition created a U-shaped building; the resulting interior open lānai was subsequently roofed over and enclosed. The current entrance dates from 1960. [10]
