HISTORIC BATTERY RANDOLPH
Battery Randolph is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Built in 1911, the massive, steel reinforced concrete structure housed two 14" diameter guns on "disappearing carriages" whose accuracy and range of 11 miles allowed them to outgun any Battleship then afloat. The Battery survived demolition attempts in 1968 and became the home of the U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii in 1976. Its unique construction and architecture are featured through exhibits and adaptive restoration.
