Is Baldwin Home haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

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.
