If you've been to Moanalua Gardens Park on the "ewa" side of Honolulu, you may have had a chance to check out the King Kamehameha V summer cottage, which has been in its present location since 1960.
The cottage was built by Prince Lot Kapuaiwa, who later became King Kamehameha V when he ascended to the throne.

Along with the property, the cottage was willed to businessman and landowner Samuel Mills Damon, who renovated it and used it as a residence.

| Cottage and Koi Pond |
Adjacent to the structure are two extensive ponds, one used to planting taro, and the other for raising koi (ornamental carp). The area exudes serenity with the only sounds being the distant conversation of tourists or families, and the twittering of birds.
The scene is luxuriant and green and a perfect setting for picture-taking.
