The King David Kalakaua Building was dedicated in a traditional Hawaiian ceremony on December 29, 2003.
The King David Kalakaua Building in Honolulu, Hawaii was once known as the United States Federal Court, Customs House and Post Office Building. It was the official seat of administration in the state of Hawaii for the United States federal government. In December 2003, the federal government transferred the National Historic Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places to the state of Hawaii upon which the building was renamed in honor of King David Kalakaua — last king of the Hawaiian monarchy. All federal agencies and departments moved their offices years earlier to the Prince Kuhio Federal Building near Honolulu Harbor.
