Missionary House around Chongqing

Title: Missionary House around Chongqing
Caption: Probably Dai Gia Hong Chungking. 1936 birthday letter to Eleanor from Gordon says - "You were born at Dai Gia Hong" Copy to Archives.
Identifier: JGFA_030
Description: A two story double verandahed building of the style used for missionary houses. There are two roof windows and three chimneys. The round columns are spaced symmetrically but unevenly. The railing on the second floor balcony is made from rounded wooden poles, which is unusual for China. A person is barely visible beside one of the columns.
Commentary: I've not been able to determine where or what Dia Gia Hong is, but this building seems likely to be one of the missionary houses in the hills across from Chongqing. It is not the Jones's cottage there, which is stucco. Neither is it the Business Agency. If Dai Gia Hong is the Jones's bungalow, this is not it.
