Inhaltsangabe

From the Introduction: "...So, the First Section of this book is about a petite haole woman and how she went about preserving Chinatown. Once the 40-block area of Chinatown was essentially saved from the wrecking ball and the entire district placed on the National Register of Historic Places, Chinatown property owners steadily hired preservation architects to restore and rehabilitate their historic properties. The Second Section of the book gives voice to a number of key preservation architects. To give you an idea of how important their stories are, one architect in particular has worked on the restoration of 11 buildings in Chinatown....There is a lot to Chinatown today, and the Third Section of this book attempts to capture the vibrancy that is apparent on every street and around every corner of this historic district...." This book is a production of Hawaii Architectural Foundation and Historic Hawaii Foundation. It is illustrated throughout with colorful photographs and detailed maps.
