Kalua'aha Church

Hawaii offers plenty of historical buildings and locations for visitors. One particular location to visit is the Kalua'aha Church. It is located in Kaunakakai Molokai, Hawaii. Molokai is considered a private island in many areas, which means permission may need to be granted in order to see the church.

The church was a congregational establishment on the island in 1844. Harvey Rexford Hitchcock founded the church. He lived from 1800 to 1855. The building for the church began in 1844, but it was not officially completed until 1912.

The church is typical of western design with a church spire for the bell house. The spire is two square stacks, the topmost smaller than the bottom. The church is rectangular in shape with a slight slope on the roof. Outside the structure were beams to help support the roof and walls.

The building is still standing though it is in disrepair. It is protected as a national landmark, which could mean renovation in the years to come in order to keep it available for visitors. It is considered one of 19 attractions on the island of Molokai for visitors to see. It is also considered an absolute must to visit.
