This building is considered historic because of its association with the Oahu Railway & Land Co., an important force in the development of Oahu.  It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type and period of construction.  The unknown designer of this building crafted a building in a style typical of public structures of the early 20th century in Hawaii; it is now a rare surviving example of Colonial Revival architecture in Honolulu.
