Description
English:

A concrete marker inscribed with the date "AUG 1887" sits on a square concrete base.

Crater Rim Historic District. This concrete marker, inscribed "AUG 1887", may be a monument to the completion of Peter Lee's road. The 3-foot-high marker is located by the Crater Rim Drive across from the original site of the Volcano House. Its placement is undocumented, but it was around that time that a hotelier named Peter Lee built a road from Pahala to the Volcano House. The estimate for the road's completion comes from a Volcano House entry dated October 1888, when a guest claimed to be the first visitor to travel from ocean port to volcano entirely by wheeled conveyance.
