Thanks for pulling yourself out of the writing maze to post those photos. I never realized that the Outrigger started as just a bar and then built the restaurant in the space between the two buildings. Here is the postcard that I got on ebay that Tikicoma referred to. It shows the early hotel building with just the Outrigger bar and no restaurant. Will post better scans when I get the card. Sounds like the restaurant was built in 1954 and my news photo of the opening of the Outrigger bar was from 1949. DC
