When the beloved Honolulu closed almost 2 decades ago, some dedicated regulars purchased most of the restaurant's decor as well as the bar, tables, and seating, and rebuilt the Honolulu in their barn.

In 2019, the property went up for sale, and featured the tiki barn: https://patch.com/virginia/kingstowne/rose-hill-wow-house-historic-find-tiki-barn

On the Tiki Forum, user Dr Coruba relayed that he knew the original couple, and when they sold their property in 2019, they passed Coruba's contact information on to the new owners, so in the event they decided to get rid of the Honolulu stuff, he could help the new owners find new homes for all of the Honolulu material. Per Coruba as of February 2022, the new owners never contacted him

After what looks like a renovation and flip, the property went on the market and sold in January of 2022. The listing is here: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4010-Franconia-Rd-Alexandria-VA-22310/51920593_zpid/

Note the listing's description of the barn, and what's gone from the barn in the listing photos.

Somebody please tell me that the Honolulu items were properly offloaded and all that history didn't end up getting trucked to the Lorton landfill.
