Description

1920's Haleakala Summit Rest House (Kalahaku) Maui Group Actual Photo TH Hawaii. Vintage 2 3/4" x 4 1/2" photo from a 1920's photo album, per seller. The rest house at Kalahaku, also known as Craigielea, was the first facility built near the summit of Haleakala in 1894. The rest house provided tourists with rough shelter from the unpredictable climate until 1914, when a new building was constructed by the Maui Chamber of Commerce due to the increase in number of visitors and vandalism. The 1914 rest house was a Maui landmark until it was demolished in 1957.
