Summary

Significance: Washington Place, built between 1841 and 1847, has an eclectic mix of Greek Revival and indigenous tropical architectural components. The original central portion is a good example of the classical revival mansion with a two-level portico and central stairhall. Since its construction, Washington Place has held a prominent position in Hawai'i. First it was the home of an enterprising merchant trader, Captain John Dominis, then to Queen Lili'uokalani, and finally to the Territorial and State Governors. It received its name, Washington Place, February 1848. Since 1921, the Territory and later State of Hawai'i has owned Washington Place and, until 2002, the house served as the governor's official residence. At that time new accommodations for the governor were completed and the historic dwelling known as Washington Place became a museum. Washington Place was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2007.

This is another AI-assisted collection, this time it features 20K+ images of manors. A manor is a large country house with lands, the principal house of a landed (country) estate. This collection took about 15 minutes to make, including adding about 18,000 relevant images as "manors" and removing portraits of people with "Manor" last names. Of course, image recognition was already done before and that process required much much longer time and machine resources. Please contact us if you need large image sets or need to tag your own large collections using our neural networks.
