Kalaupapa's 350-seat social hall was the heart and soul of the community. Built around 1915, patients and the administration used the hall to host community events such as movies, dances, concerts, and political rallies. The hall would also host celebrity entertainers for decades. During events, strict rules segregated Hansen's patients from non-patients. These rules required non-patients to sit only in the upper balcony seats and to enter from separate entrances.
