A couple of interesting finds. Two inventory forms. One form for the two OA tikis that stood guard out in front of the TMK and a form for the front door. Apparently the door and tikis were inventoried by a local author (Fay L. Hendry) for a book on outdoor sculpture in the area. The fist form in two pages just says "two polynesian? figures" but has measurements. The big one 11' 6" and the smaller one 9' 6"


The second form shows the original carved doors. The form states that the doors have carved figure door handles and Tur Mai Kai craved on both doors above the carved figures. The door frame appears to be OA tiki poles. Painted "red ,brown, and green. This door was gone when the Piking Palace was up and running. The form also mentions Two seated figures in the landscape. Wonder what those were. Here's the form and pics of the two doors.


Here are some closeups of the first door and the later "detikified door". The color photo I borrowed from Boutiki's original post on the TMK. I wonder if the original door was by OA as most of the decor came from them?

The original in 1969.

The original carved door showing the OA tiki poles, overhead trim, and tiki door handels

The later door 2004.
I'am on the trail of the negitives of the original pics to see if I can get a clear copy. Thanks
