I have a couple of questions. Who carved the large idols out front (not the Moai) and what became of them and what was the small building in the left foreground used for.

Trav, when I went on my photo safari with Jeff Berry in January of 1996, there was only one of the Moai left. I assume they were carved by Jack Hite, they guy that carved that built-into-the-desk Tiki you see in the BOT. Don't know what happened to them. The lil Japanese Teahouse, as far as I recall, was just a utility building, lit up as a roadside sign at night.
