After seeing a current picture taken of Halstead Mill Smoke Stack, I was prompt to start this petition recommending the State Historic Preservation Division placing the Halstead Mill Smoke Stack on the Hawaii Registry of Historic Places because recent and current development projects that potentially impact our Historic Sites that are an important part of Waialua's history and People.

Orignially it was Chamberlain Plantation in 1874 and later purchased by Halstead Brothers in 1878. In 1878 Castle & Cooke created Waialua Agricultural Company and purchased it.

It's quite disturbing all these years nothing was ever considered to preserve, protect and afford the recognition it highly deserves.

Please support and sign this petition. No monetary contribution is required.

Mahalo nui loa.

My grandfather and two uncles worked for Waialua Sugar, and lived In Kawailoa. So much has changed in Haleiwa and Waialua - hope this chimney and its history can be preserved!

Yes we need to save the stack. We couldn’t save Haleiwa theater but we can try to save a little bit of Waialua history

I feel that Hawaii is tearing apart the history of Hawaii. How will our children's, grand children and great grand children see the history of this beautiful island if we are constantly tearing apart historic sites. Please preserve and deem this a historical site.

I completely support this, by signing this it’s important that the small business that thrive in the old mill will not be affected or shut down. If this does I will not support. Thanks

This has so much memories connected to it, besides being our own landmark of days gone by. Stop trying to erase history.
