Topic: “IOLANI PALACE” – The only Royal Palace in the United States 
Hawaiian King David Kalākaua’s beautiful 1882 palace 
in Honolulu had more modern amenities than the U.S. White House 
when built. Since then, it’s seen triumphs, tragedies, neglect, and restoration 
to its grandeur, and is still of huge cultural importance across Polynesia.
