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.
