Until fairly recently, the buildings were painted white. I'm not sure when they were painted green.
Items of note:
1. The four palm trees forming the letter W to denote the Wai'alae Country Club. Which came first, the Big W at the Wai'alae or the Big W in the movie "It's a Mad, Mad World"?
2. The lava rock pavilion that was used as the beach bar at the King Kamehameha Club on several episodes of "Magnum, PI".
