Gallery Building
		The sound of children laughing and singing once filled this building, the site of the Lahaina Kindergarten, which was built by the Baldwin Family and is part of the H.P. Baldwin Estate. At one time, it was the only kindergarten in town and free. Children attended the school for 1/2 days in the mornings. They were given a snack of milk and crackers at mid-morning and returned home at lunch time. Community organizations like the Boy Scouts used the building for meetings after school and in the evenings. Lahaina’s legendary Kumu Hula Auntie Emma Sharpe conducted classes there at night. The kindergarten closed in the 1960’s. A famous a local artist would bring his movie projector on weekends, set it up in the street behind the north end of the building, which at that time as unroofed. People sat under the stars and watched the screen. Through the 1960’s and 70’s different businesses came and went until a local entrepreneur leased the building and rebuilt the exterior and interior into an art gallery. Remodeled in the 1980’s by a new lessee, the world-renown gallery has grown and prospered.
