Description
“The Brick Church in course of construction. Native builders at work.” Distant view of construction work at the site of a new brick church. Workers stand on wooden scaffolding that surrounds the walls, which are partially completed. A pile of long timbers sits in the foreground. Blantyre, Nyasaland [Malawi] was an industrial mission which developed skills such as carpentry, and bricks were necessary to construct the many mission buildings, including the renowned St Michael and All Angels church, designed by Rev. David Clement Ruffell Scott (1853-1907).
