Description: Earl and Kay Willmott pose for a portrait on the verandah of their house on the WCUU campus, Chengdu. Rose bushes hang from a rope trellis above their heads.
Commentary: This series of portraits were taken in the summer of 1951, just months before the Willmott's left China for good in December after 30 years of missionary service. Caption written by Kay, and probably mailed to Don & Liz, who were at Oberlin at the time. The house located at No.16, Section 3, Renmin South Road, the former residence of L.E. Willmott, once called the “red small foreign house,” still stands today. It was identified as a cultural landmark of Chengdu city and listed for protection in 2015.
