The oldest house in Lahaina—1835, the missionary doctor’s home.

Baldwin Home is a site in Lahaina, Hawaii. The oldest house in Lahaina—1835, the missionary doctor’s home. The presence its accounts keep returning to is the one they call the baldwins. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

The Baldwin Home was the oldest — the '34 coral walls that were Maui's first Western house, the missionary doctor who lived there. The voyage was the six months — the Cape Horn that they rounded, the '31 arrival in Honolulu. The fire was the '23 — the Lahaina blaze that took it, the oldest house that's gone.
The medical was the service — the clinic that it housed, the 'scale of fees' that listed the sicknesses. The children were the eight — the two who died of dysentery, the six who grew in the additions. The Baldwin Home is the lost — the 24-inch walls that couldn't save it, the mission that's the memory.
The file keeps the Baldwin Home: the 1834 construction, the medical mission, the '23 fire, and the loss.
The Baldwin Home is the archive's Lahaina file — the oldest house that burned.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Baldwin Home is the archive's Lahaina file — the missionary's house.
A home keeps its fire — the file's suggestion being that the Baldwin's hold is the loss: the 1834 coral, the '23 destruction, and the medical service that was.

FILED CLAIMS — 2 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] named ghost legend: The Baldwins are reportedly seen. The reports at Baldwin Home are the site's second history — unofficial, unverified, and stubbornly retold. The account has a collector's pedigree — written down as legend, which is the most honest status it can hold. The account appears in 'Baldwin Home'. Named ghosts are the ones that last — this one has lasted.

· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported figures in the house. The site in Lahaina, Hawaii gives the account a documented setting: real place, real history, unresolved reports. The reports are anecdotal — consistent enough to record, thin enough to stay unproven. Sources including 'Baldwin Home' keep the claim in circulation. The apparition is the file's anchor — every other report orbits it.
