The
House
on
Punchbowl Hill



























The cooling breath of a tradewind breeze...

Hibiscus flower in the moonlight...

The golden light of the setting tropical sun...





The Charlie Chan Family Home

The cooling caress of a tradewind breeze, carrying with it the subtle perfume of plumeria, gently sways the palms and rustles the glistening leaves of the algaroba trees that shade the house nestled on the upper slope of Punchbowl Hill above the bustling tropical city of Honolulu.  This house, now a museum, has been a home to the Chan family for decades.  So, please dear visitor, accept an unworthy yet heartfelt welcome to you, our honored guest!

Each room of this venerable old home will hopefully offer an opportunity to learn a few new facts about the life and work of illustrious detective and family patriarch Charlie Chan.

"Charlie Chan" ("Chan Cha-Li")

Please feel free to wander through our small museum by using the links provided at the top of this and all of our pages, or, for more detailed information, you may prefer to begin your tour by first visiting our Directory.

OUR NEXT WEEKLY CHAT/FILM VIEWING:

Please join with us each Monday evening as we watch and discuss another Charlie Chan movie...TOGETHER! On August 2, our film will be Black Magic (Meeting At Midnight), starring Sidney Toler.

Please accept this humble invitation to attend as we watch this movie together through the magic of synchronized VCRs or DVD players! We begin our evenings at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with arrivals and greetings. Then, at precisely 8:30, we start playing our personal copies of the movie for that Monday.

If you do not have access to a copy of our featured film, please join with us anyway! Our conversation wanders from the picture at hand to most any subject relating to Charlie Chan, and you will be included in all of the fun! Need it be said that ALL are most welcome, especially "first-timers"?

So, we hope to see you in our Chat Room this Monday evening, as there is always a chair awaiting you, our honored guest...
