Notes from Moana Hotel in Oahu, Hawaii:
Walter Chamberlain Peacock was born in England in 1858. Arrived in Hawaiian Islands 1881 and worked as an accountant for a local attorney and a liquor distributor called the F.T.Lenehan Company. In 1883 he entered a co-partnership with 5 other businessmen and established the Cosmopolitan Hotel Co. which sold liquor, distilled water, and tobacco. Walter purchased the Lenehan Co in 1885 after the owners' death and formed a partnership with his co-worker George Douglas Freeth. Walter expanded his liquor business and established two more saloons, "the Pacific & the Royal Hotel & Bullshead." In 1896 he announced land for a hotel in Waikiki on the site of his brothers property. Problems with the government delayed his project but it was revived in 1899. Construction began on Jan 1900 and was completed in 12 months. Opening ceremony was held on 11 March 1901. The Moana Hotel failed to profit due to a remote Waikiki and was sold in 1905 to the Alexander Young family. The Moana was the first major hostelry in Hawaii.

They arrived here in the old steamer Zealandia on September 5 of that year. At first Mrr. Peacock obtained odd jobs as bookkeeper and then entered the employ of F.G. Lanahan, wholesale liquor dealer on Nuuanu street near King, present site of the Irwin building, as bookkeeper. Upon the death of Mrr. Lanahan, he and "Governor" Freeth bought the business, Freeth retiring, however, after a few years. When the McInenrny building was completed. Mrr. Peacock moved into the present quarters of the Peacock Company on Merchant street near Fort. In 1896, the firm of Peacock & Company was incorporated and branched out into its present large proportions. About the same time Mrr. Peacock conceived the idea of a large, modern hotel at the Waikiki beach, and laid the first plans for the Moana hotel, which was built a short time later by Peacock & Company and their friends. In October, 1896, Mrr. Peacock went to Australia and established there the firm of Peacock Bros. After visits to Honolulu he returned here in 1901 to remain permanently; and although he traveled a number of times since, this has been his home.
