McKinley High School Campus And Vicinity Walking Tour (1.5 LU)
In addition to our monthly Downtown and Chinatown Walking Tours, AIA Honolulu shares a special Walking Tour annually in celebration of Architecture Month.
This year's tour showcases the McKinley High School campus and surrounding area, which includes several properties on the National Register of Historic Places, including Thomas Square dating from the 19th century, as well as buildings constructed between 1924 and 1939.
Most of the walk is within the high school campus, with some adjacent or nearby buildings and historic properties included. Docents will discuss the architects and landscape architects who designed the properties, as well as the history and character they embody today.
Staggered Tours: On Saturday, October 19th, staggered tours leave from the check-in point every 10 minutes from 8am-12pm. Â Each docent will lead up to 12 participants.
ADA Disclaimer: The walking tour route has been selected to provide the maximum level of accessibility and safety possible in the area, however, risks do exist. Sidewalks are used wherever possible, but a portion of the tour is over grass and ramps between sidewalks are not always available.
Start & Check-In:Â Makai side of the cafeteria, at least 15 minutes before the scheduled tour time.
