What Saved The 'Miracle House' In Lahaina?

• Civil Beat

Before fires ripped through Lahaina, the craftsman-inspired home at 271 Front St. didn't stand out much in the neighborhood. The nearly 100-year-old structure had been lovingly restored in recent years, but it was one of many charming homes lining the waterfront of one of Hawaii's most historically important towns. 

Today, the house is unmissable: A red-roofed structure in seemingly pristine condition, surrounded by piles of ash and rubble for blocks in every direction.

"It looks like it was photoshopped in," homeowner Trip Millikin said of the house, which stands in such contrast to the surrounding ruins that images of the home have gone viral in recent days.
