Hawaii State Capitol
Shortly after Hawaiʻi became a state on August 21, 1959, the architecture firms of John Carl Warnecke & Associates of San Francisco and Belt, Lemmon & Lo of Honolulu were selected to work in partnership. Plans began in 1960, but groundbreaking for construction didn't take place until November 10, 1965. The Capitol was completed four years later and it opened on March 15, 1969, dedicated by Governor John A. Burns.
