Here in Lahaina Maui we call this view "The back of Front Street". This view is seen from the Library Park. This is where the Hauola Stone is.

Kahuna (priests) of medicine used stones like this to help cure illnesses.

The old Lahaina Lighthouse is also a feature in this park, but not visible in this painting. The lighthouse was the first in all of Hawaii. Commissioned in 1840 by Kamehameha III, it was built to light the way for incoming whaling boats.
