Thanks for the kind responses, my kids think it's a big tiki playhouse.

I have this picture hanging in a special place in my bar, but wanted to show it here in detail. This is my grandfather standing on Waikiki Beach during shore leave while his ship was at Pearl Harbor. He was stationed aboard the USS Warhawk during WWII. The Warhawk was a supply ship that traveled the Pacific delivering troops and supplies to various ports in the Pacific theatre. He got to see first hand several exotic ports in the south seas, and like thousands of sailors returning from the Pacific theatre after the war, provided the spark here on the mainland that we know as Polynesian Pop Culture.
