SCOPE

Hulihee Palace Finished Restoration

John Canning & Co. restored plaster at the historic Hulihe’e Palace.

The Palace, the former vacation home of Hawaiian royalty, is completely constructed out of lava rock.

Now a cultural museum, it was severely damaged by an earthquake in 2006. This caused significant structural damage and cracking in the lava rock.
