Type:
Archival materials
Place:
Pualani (Kula, Hawaii)
United States of America -- Hawaii -- Maui -- Kula
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets and photographs of the property undergoing renovation.
General:
Located on the slopes of Haleakala Volcano, this cattle ranch and farm was originally purchased from the Hawaiian Kingdom by Yung Hee in the mid 1800s. In 1893 the current owner's great grandfather, William Henry Cornwell, sailed to Shanghai to purchase the 10,000 acres. The ranch remained a working cattle ranch after Cornwell purchased it. In 1916, all but 250 acres of the ranch land was sold. Subsequent generations have transformed the ranch headquarters and office into a home. The large area surrounding the home is comprised of open lawns and a rich tapestry of gardens, stately trees, seating areas, trellises and terraces. The empty concrete cistern fronting the house is a reminder of ranch days and frequent droughts.
Persons associated with the garden include Young Hee (former owner, mid-1800s); William Cornwell (former owner, 1893); Blanche Walker (landscape designer, early 1900s to 1950s).
RESTRICTED. See garden file.
