Bayview Home - Hawaii free images

Kalaupapa and Kalawao Settlements, Kalaupapa National Historical Park. The Bay View Home for the Blind and Disabled is the oldest community housing structure in Kalaupapa. The complex was originally built in 1901, but burned down and rebuilt in 1913. It housed approximately 90 people at maximum capacity. The long lanai (porches) are distinct of the plantation style architecture common in Hawaii at the turn of the 20th century. Patients would often sit on the lanai in the afternoons, and those people that could see would describe the scene to the blind and elderly patients.

The buildings are in disrepair, but the National Park Service is beginning restoration efforts, having fully restored 2 of the 7 buildings in the complex by the end of 2014. Today, the rooms are used for park staff and volunteer housing.
