description

Summary

Significance: The valve tower is significant as an element of the Ku Tree Reservoir and as a rare example of a masonry valve tower constructed in Hawaii in the 1920s. The structure is typical of its period in its use of materials, method of construction, craftsmanship, and design. Because of their relatively small scale, very few reservoirs in Hawaii employ valve towers. Thus, Ku Tree's tower is one of the few examples of this type of structure in the islands.
