| 説明 | Built in 1847, this Greek Revival-style house was designed by Isaac Hart, and was built for American sea merchant and captain John Dominis and his wife, Mary Jones Dominis, a native of Boston. The two-story house features a relatively square main wing built of wood frame and clad in clapboards, surrounded on three sides by wrap-around lanais on the first and second floors with doric columns, brackets, and french doors, a large hipped roof, a front door with a fanlight transom and sidelights, a front porte cochere, and a rear ell that serves as a service wing, with an addition having been built onto the southeast side of the house in the 20th Century when it was utilized as the Hawaiian Governor’s Mansion, which does not feature the wrap-around lanais, but incorporates doric pilasters into its facades, and a large one-story lanai at the southeastern most extent of the structure. Built on land awarded to Dominis in 1842, as a settlement for a lawsuit, John Dominis never saw the house completed, as he was lost at sea with a ship headed to China in 1846, leaving his widow Mary Dominis and son John Owen Dominis to rent out rooms in the house to boarders. The house, in its early years, was inhabited by William Little Lee between 1849 and 1854, whom reformed the Hawaiian legal system to more closely resemble the legal system of Massachusetts, as well as Anthony Ten Eyck, an American Commissioner to the islands whom was appointed by President James K. Polk, and whom bestowed the name “Washington Place” upon the house in 1848, which was formally approved by King Kamehameha III. In 1862, John Owen Dominis married Lydia Kamakaeha Pākī, whom later became Queen Liliʻuokalani, with the house becoming her private residence, which she shared with her husband and her mother-in-law, as well as boarders whom rented rooms in the house. Mary Dominis died in 1889, after which the American flag that had been flying outside the house since the death of her husband John Dominis was lowered to commemorate the occasion. Upon the death of King David Kalākaua in 1891, Lydia rose to the throne and was coronated as Queen Liliʻuokalani. During her reign, the house was her private residence, with formal and ceremonial state functions taking place in the nearby ‘Iolani Palace. In 1893, when she was deposed in a coup that overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii, Queen Liliʻuokalani was arrested at Washington Place, and was imprisoned at ‘Iolani Palace, tried by the courts of the Provisional Government of Hawaii, and convicted of treason, and placed under house arrest inside Washington Place for several months. For the rest of her life, Queen Liliʻuokalani lived at Washington Place, before dying at the age of 79 in 1917. In 1921, the territorial legislature of Hawaiʻi purchased Washington Place from Queen Liliʻuokalani’s estate, renovating the structure in 1922 to serve as the Governor’s Mansion for the Territory of Hawaii, and after 1959, as the Governor’s Mansion for the State of Hawaii. In 2002, the house was converted into a museum, and in 2008, a new Governor’s Mansion was constructed to the rear of the historic mansion, which today is the official residence of the Governor of Hawaii. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2007. |
