Honolulu May Demolish Natatorium
Honolulu’s famed Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium which was erected in 1927 as a memorial to those who served and died in World War I, is in danger of being demolished, according to city officials.
The city’s famous saltwater pool has been closed for over 30 years now due to the dangerous condition of it’s crumbling deck and deterioration of the pool itself. Now city officials are trying to decide what to do with the famous structure, (not sure what has taken them so long!).
Opinions vary from total demolition, to demolition of only the pool and restoration of the decorative facade.
