Oahu's first sugar mill was built in the 1860's, near the present day Kualoa Ranch. Coral bricks were among the materials used in its construction. The mill closed in the 1870's because there was not enough rain in this area to sustain the sugar crops.
Fascinating, and I like the green and white contrast too.

So it was only used for ten years and has been abandoned ever since. Always interesting to check out places like this.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. From your photos Hawaii looks quite green, so you must get some rain!
ReplyDeleteI love old buildings! It's like a treasure.
