caption_attribution_description: English: This is the barracks for the royal guard, built in 1871 at the site of the current Hawaii state capitol, and moved here in the 1960s.
context_page_description: ʻIolani Barracks, or hale koa in Hawaiian, was built in 1870, designed by the architect Theodore Heuck, under the direction of King Lot Kapuaiwa. Located directly adjacent to ʻIolani Palace in downtown Honolulu, it housed about 80 members of the monarch's Royal Guard until the overthrow of the Monarchy in 1893. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as part of the Hawaii Capital Historic District.
context_section_description: After the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893, the Royal Guard were paid their month's salary and disbanded. The barracks was used on several occasions as the headquarters of the National Guard of Hawaiʻi. The building was used as temporary shelter for victims of the 1899 Chinatown fire. It also housed government offices and at one point served as a warehouse.
  In 1965, the structure was moved, stone by stone, to its current location to make room for the Hawaiʻi State Capitol. Today, the building serves as a visitors center for ʻIolani Palace and houses a gift shop, ticket office, video theater, and membership office.
