Notes
  • Significance: Grove Farm, founded by George N. Wilcox in 1864, was one of 86 sugar plantations known to have operated in the Hawaiian Islands. Wilcox cultivated and harvested sugarcane and raised beef cattle, gradually expanding his sugar crop from 80 acres to more than 1,000 acres with a growing workforce of several hundred Hawaiians, Chinese, Koreans, Germans, Japanese, Portuguese, and Filipino laborers. As the plantation expanded he built and furnished the group of structures which faced a large yard enclosed by stone walls: the plantation office, sleeping quarters, a guest cottage, a more spacious addition to the main house, and a camp for plantation workers. The homestead was the heart of day-to-day plantation operations until the early 1930's. The one-story portion of the G.N. Wilcox family home was constructed in the 1850's for one of the founders of the adjacent Lihue Plantation. Its hipped roof, building materials, and lanais express an architectural marriage of traditional Hawaiian house forms and western building tradition. The two-story Colonial Revival portion added by Wilcox in 1915 was designed by noted Honolulu architect Clinton B. Ripley.
