Artist's conception of the Brick Palace from the Lahaina Restoration Foundation
The Brick Palace was the first western-style structure built in the Hawaiian Islands for Kamehameha the Great to serve as the first Royal Palace.[1] Lahaina became the seat of government for the Hawaiian Kingdom until 1845.[2][3] The king commissioned the structure to be built at Keawa'iki point in Lahaina, Maui.[4] Two foreign, ex-convicts from Australia's Botany Bay penal colony built the home.[5] It was begun in 1798 and was completed after 4 years in 1802.[6][7] The house was intended for Kamehameha's favorite and most powerful wife, Kaahumanu,[8] but she refused to live in the structure and resided instead in a traditional Hawaiian-styled home only feet away.[4]
Kamehameha used the building as part of his encampment in 1802,[9] with over 1000 people in his entourage.[10] The encampment area surrounding the building became a neighborhood known for the chiefly line associated with Kamehameha. Food was grown for the royal family and the area called the "Royal Taro Patch" was connected with this structure.[11] After the unsuccessful war on Kauai, Kamehameha moved his court to Honolulu.
