Chinese Society Halls on Maui

Operated by the Gee Kung Tong Society, these halls were created to provide services to immigrant Chinese workers, mostly working for the sugarcane plantations.

The Chee Kung Tong Society Hall was placed onto both State and Federal registers, but collapsed in 1996.

County records indicate that the building was first listed as being built in 1897, thought other sources differ on the matter.

Today, the vacant lot sits derelict, with only a cement foundation and gate marking the site.

[9][10][11][12] The Wo Hing Society Hall (Chinese: 和興會館) was a building located on Front Street in Lahaina built around 1912.

The two story structure and cookhouse served as both a meeting place for Chinese immigrants working in Lahaina and offered religious services on the second floor.
