Cooke Evangelical Evangelism Frame Hawaii Hawaiian Honolulu Mission Missionary Palm
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Cooke Mission House, located on King Street in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, in the year 1916. The Cooke Mission House holds significant historical importance as it is the first frame house built in Honolulu, marking the beginning of Western-style residential construction in the Hawaiian Islands. The Mission House, named after its founders, the American Protestant missionaries, Reverend and Mrs. Amos Starr Cooke, stands proudly amidst the lush tropical landscape, with a palm tree swaying gently in the foreground. The wooden frame house, with its gabled roof and wide veranda, exudes a sense of tranquility and serenity, reflecting the religious and evangelical spirit of the missionaries who sought to spread the word of God in the Hawaiian Islands during the late 19th century. The 1910s were an era of transition in Hawaiian history, as the islands were under American control following the annexation of 1898. The Mission House, with its wooden frame and Western architectural design, represents the fusion of two distinct cultures, symbolizing the enduring influence of American missionaries on the Hawaiian Islands. The Cooke Mission House, now a National Historic Landmark, continues to stand as a testament to the rich history of Hawaii and its unique blend of Western and Hawaiian cultural influences. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of religious evangelism, cultural exchange, and architectural innovation.
