From the web: This attractive, one-story building, about 33 by 60 feet in size, with thick adobe walls, Was built by 1835, a schoolhouse by the missionaries. It is sometimes described as the "first permanent school" in the islands, which may be true if it is considered as a continuation of the school established in Honolulu by Mrs. Hiram Bingham in 1820. The early Protestant Mission School House, built about 1833-35 was also the regular meeting place of the annual missionary gathering, known as the "General Meeting." This building stood south of Kawaiahaʻo Church, at the foot of a lane. "We have a very good school house built of mud & plastered inside & out with lime made of coral. It is thatched with grass, has a floor, seats & benches in front to write upon... All our scholars assemble in it & after prayers the native teachers take their scholars into the old grass meeting house, leaving us with about 60, which we manage ourselves."
