The missionary compound at Ing Hok [Ing Tai] is seen on a hill across the river. Written on the back of the photograph: "[illegible] Pagoda Hill looking across to the compound. River and the street in foreground. Our house on top of hill and my last land purchase in front where the Whitney residence is now being built. Boys School roofs at right of our residence. Ing Hok 1914. For our dean. G. P." There are conflicting dates on this photograph. The year 1912 is written twice on the face of the photo, while the year 1914 is written on its backside. This photo is from the papers of the Edward Huntington Smith family, missionaries serving the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in China, 1901-1950, primarily in Ing Tai and Foochow [Fuzhou].
