We found thr palace from Hawaii to be intriguing so we watched this great clip: Iolani Palace: The Only Royal Palace in the United States (Honolulu, Hawaii) from: https://youtu.be/MkcKpiud520?si=QCPydBvYXmgUciuY

ʻIolani Palace was built in 1882 by the last king of Hawaiʻi, King Kalākaua. It remained a royal residence until Queen Liliʻuokalani, the king's sister and successor, was deposed and the Hawaiian monarchy overthrown in January 1893. The Palace served as capitol of the Provisional Government, Republic, Territory and State of Hawaiʻi until 1969.
