1964 Salvation Army Tea Room Waiʻoli HI Postcard

1964 vintage postcard. Dedicated in 1922, as part of the Salvation Army Girls' Home program to teach young women marketable job skills.

The concept for Wai'oli Tea Room was based on the high tea traditions of British Columbia emigrants living in Hawaii when it was built in 1922. Waiʻoli used "high tea" and "afternoon tea" to mean the same thing.
