Description
“First brick house.” Exterior view of a small dwelling with a mother and child at the door. The discovery of clay deposits near Chogoria lead to the manufacturing of bricks and the construction of more permanent buildings. ❧ This image is from the first years of the Chogoria mission in Kenya, which was run by the Rev. Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974), from the collection entitled ‘Chogoria, 1922. The early days.”
