The story
Emily and Henry Perrine Baldwin built and endowed the home in 1910 for elderly Hawaiian and haole men, naming it for their son Fred Baldwin (1881-1905), who died at 24. Kahului Railroad Company crews built the original wooden buildings in a U around a central lawn, to designs by Honolulu architect H. L. Kerr. Ethel Baldwin and her daughter Frances ran the home from 1911 to 1958; during World War II the residents were moved to Lahaina’s Pioneer Inn and the buildings served as a military hospital. After use as Maunaolu Seminary dormitories and Maui Land & Pineapple worker housing, the buildings stood empty until a 2009 purchase and 2010-11 restoration created Lumeria.
