Description
-
A double verandahed building similar in style to missionary homes. The building appears to be in the process of construction by the piles of bricks and unkempt appearance around its base. A person sits on the ground on the lower verandah. Another person appears to be sweeping behind a column nearby. Other buildings can be seen in the background.
