The Natatorium was built in 1927 to honor World War I servicemen from Hawaii and served as a public swimming pool and gathering place until 1979. In recent years, the nonprofit Friends of the Natatorium has been working to fully restore the historic landmark. They received a designation as a National Treasure from the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2014. Restoration proponents believe that with continued support, the Natatorium can once again be an active community site that also preserves Hawaii's history.
