Victorian Mansion in Hilo Hawaii
Journey across the old wooden bridge onto “Reed’s Island”. A finger of lava separated by a river and a stream. Capt. William H. Reed, an English sea captain, helped Kamehameha unite the islands. He subdivided the island into lots, with #8 Kaiulani, being the first house on the island.
Built in 1896, by the Wilson Brothers, two Victorian home builders out of San Fransisco, who later stayed in Hilo to complete the Shipman Victorian home, which was originally the Elks Club Clubhouse and Ballroom. The name of the street, is Kaiulani, named after the Princess that visited the Big Island.
The lion statues greet you at the entry to the property, which is a flagshape lot. Drive down the lined row of 100 ft. palm trees up to the Hemmeter gates, brought from Italy. Drive around the cobblestone driveway and 3-tiered water fountain to the front door. Guard dogs statues at the entry.
