Hale Kanilehua

Hawaii · USA · School

A house stood where the hall is now. A boy playing in the area during the demolition was killed.

A house stood on the ground where this hall of residence in Hilo, Hawaii was built. During the demolition of that house, a boy playing nearby was killed.

He is seen on the ground floor of the women's side of the building.

Students hear him walking up and down the corridor, and hear him talking and laughing.

Demolition sites and children have a long and grim history together, and the safety practices that keep the two apart are relatively recent. A partly demolished house is an irresistible place to a child and a lethal one.

Hawaiian tradition takes such matters seriously in its own terms, and students from these islands bring that understanding with them rather than the mainland framework used in most of this archive.

The hall is student housing and is not open to visitors.
