It is my understanding that the Hanalei Pier was ELIGIBLE to be 'Listed" on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, as the pier at the time was over 50 years of age. However, The State of Hawaii did NOT authorize the Nomination for listing, as most of their transportation system is over 50 years and the requirements for repairing a historic structure would likely preclude doing so. Thus, State bridges, piers are not authorized for listing, only NOMINATION, which is , I believe, the true status of the Hanalei Pier. Also the to strengthen this point is the fact that the pier was demolished in total in 1991/1992 and completely rebuilt, thus not eligible again for NOMINATION for another 50 years, or 2042. If you contact former State of Hawaii Office of Preservation employee Clifford Inn, now with the State of Hawaii, Division of Boating and Recreation, he will advise that their office and department will confirm the above, as they manage and maintain the Hanalei Pier (His phone 808-587-1972) Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

It did seem to be listed in the federal database, which can be verified by following the links in the article. The form was completed by the Kauai Historical Society, but was signed by the state preservation officer, or at least appears to be. Unfortunately out policy is to not cite personal telephone calls as sources. The state maintains their own listings, which often overlap but not always. Listing does not preclude demolition or repair, but just is intended to have historical value taken into account. This is a common misperception. The federal database does have errors and in a few cases does not track destruction, but is worthwhile to cite as far as it goes. If you can, find some more recent press coverage or updated book, etc. so that the article is more accurate and complete. That would be appreciated, thanks.
