Honolulu House (Abner Pratt House)

Italianate · Built 1860

Built in 1860 for Abner Pratt, former Michigan Supreme Court chief justice and U.S. Consul to Hawaii, who modeled it on the executive residence in Honolulu. Its broad verandas and tropical-inspired detailing are grafted onto an Italianate-and-Gothic-Revival frame. Now the Honolulu House Museum, operated by the Marshall Historical Society.
