Completed in 1977 on the site of the former Fort Armstrong in Honolulu, the Prince Kūhiō Federal Building is a brutalist structure housing the primary offices of the U.S. federal government in Hawaii. Formally named after Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, the heir to the Hawaiian throne who served as Republican territorial delegate to Congress from 1903 to 1922, the building spans nearly 930,000 square feet and accommodates the U.S. District Court for Hawaii, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's Honolulu division, offices of Hawaii's U.S. Senators and Representatives, and numerous federal agencies including the FBI, CIA, and Department of Homeland Security. Built to replace an earlier 1922 federal building that stood near ʻIolani Palace, the Prince Kūhiō Building occupies a prominent position at 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, directly across from Aloha Tower.
