The KALA building priorities, in retrospect.
Return to Table 11 - Building Priorities

An album of building picture thumbnails is arranged by priority in the "neighborhoods" Henry Law used in developing the building priority list. (The pop-up alternate text on each thumbnail lists building priority; unique maximum location number; building number and name. Clicking on the image links to the page in the Soulliere and Law publication.). Links table to those neighborhoods is below--

By now,
Kalaupapa has a quarter century experience in maintaining buildings at the park generally following priorities set in the Cultural Resources Management Plan of the early 1980s. The results, or outcome, of the priority exercise is striking. Of the 195 buildings given the highest priority only 6 structures, or 3%, have been lost. Of the unprioritized remaining 205 buildings-115 or 55% are gone.

Thus it is worth posting the old priority reference (the now out of print Appendix A of the first park Cultural Resources Management Plan) on the park web-site.

The full report, Derivation of Priority Listing for Stabilization and Maintenance of Historic Structures, is posted here. Buildings which have since disappeared are so noted in red type. A very few buildings, survivors and used by visitors and patients alike have been added as priorities 196 through 199 and noted in green type. The old Table 11, the priority list itself, has been linked to scanned pages of the 1977 Report, Building Inventory, Kalaupapa - Hawaii, March 1977, by Laura E Soulliere and Henry G, Law
