Summary edit

Description
English: The inked pencil sketches reproduced here are the work of Mrs. Gorham (Lydia R.) Nye, wife of a sea captain long and well known in Honolulu. She arrived on September 21, 1842 to await her husband, and went at once to live as a guest in the home of Capt. and Mrs. Charles Brewer. Capt. Nye joined her on March 14, 1843; they sailed together for the Northwest Coast and California on April 19, returning to Honolulu on November 30. Once again they were guests of the Brewers, where they stayed until about March 1, 1844, when they moved into a home of their own. Apparently the sketches were made near or after the completion of Our Lady of Peace Cathedral, which was opened and blessed on August 15, 1843

The untitled sketch looks ewa across Fort Street at its intersection with Beretania. "Doct. Rook's"—later known as the Queen Emma premises—occupied a large parcel of land at the makai-waikiki corner of Nuuanu and Beretania Streets. "Mr. Skinner's house"—in after years called Eden Place—stood at the makai-waikiki corner of Nuuanu Street and Chaplain Lane. Across Beretania, near its junction with Nuuanu, we see the original Kaumakapili Church, Rev. Lowell Smith. Distances and perspective suffer, but the correct general impression is there.
