Kailua-Kona Hawaii-1969: Painted Palace Sign Above... — Clip Details

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: This clip answers a request for a late-1960s on-screen name card for Hulihee Palace, for documentaries on the Hawaiian monarchy or Big Island tourism.
Period detail: The faded colour of the film stock and the hand-painted sign may show the palace as presented to visitors around the late 1960s.
Home-movie behavior: A visitor's camera reads the sign first and then tilts down into the doorway, the way a tourist records a landmark's name before its interior.
What appears in frame: The frame holds a painted palace sign under the eave, a white column with a carved bracket, a glass lantern, a lit chandelier, lattice doors with a small yellow notice, and tropical leaves.
Film character: Lavender-shifted colour, soft whites, steady grain and a slight handheld drift give it the texture of small-gauge reversal film.
Edit role: Use it as an establishing insert or a title-style cutaway that names the site before footage of the grounds or the Kona coast.
Historical context: The sign presents the house as a former royal residence built in 1838, and nearby Mokuaikaua Church dates from 1837, placing both among Kailua-Kona's early buildings.
Research note: Stockfilm can license the film's copyright, but the sign's painted design and the building as property may need separate review, and the silhouetted figure cannot be identified.
Research search match: Researchers might search 'Hulihee Palace 1960s footage', 'Kailua-Kona home movie', 'Hawaiian royalty residence sign' or 'vintage Big Island landmark film'.
Archive pairing path: Pair it with the lattice-fronted church visitors and the old man sweeping a path from this reel, then other Kona coast footage from circa 1969, then historic Hawaii landmark clips.
