The Oahu Railway and Land Co. Terminal Building embodies the distinctive characteristics of public buildings during the 1920s in Honolulu. This building is historic because of its association with the Oahu Railway & Land Co., an important force in the development of Oahu. It is an example of Spanish Mission Revival Style with high artistic value. The terminal building which opened in May 1925, was designed by Honolulu architect Guy N. Rothwell. The terminal building is associated with the Oahu Railway & Land Co., a very important transportation network for the sugar and pineapple plantations, the military, and the residents of Oahu, until it stopped service in December 1947.
