One of the oldest cathedrals in the United States, the cornerstone of the French
gothic nave was laid by King Kamehameha V in 1867. The first service in
the choir and a small part of the nave were held on Christmas Day 1886. By
1902 more of the nave had been built and that part was consecrated in 1902, in
which year the Anglican Church of Hawaii officially became part of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States. Two more bays of the
nave were completed by 1908. The totally-completed nave was finally
consecrated on September 21, 1958.
The first organ was Opus 521 from Walker of England, a II/13 installed in
1863. The second organ was built by George Stevens & Co. of East
Cambridge MA and had 19 ranks; it was installed in 1881. Number three was
a Hillgreen, Lane organ dedicated Easter Day 1914. This served until the
Aeolian-Skinner installation began in November 1960. 6 ranks have been
added since that time. In 1994 a large new four-manual console by Roger Colby
was installed and, from 1995-1996, 54 digitally-sampled ranks were added by
Walker.
