Description
Annotation translation: "A photograph of the Seminary. On the street are women going up and down. Between the street and the sea there is a flat area which belongs to the church, and on which on the right a chapel is to be built. At full tide the water comes higher than one sees here. The house on the left could be bought cheaply as living quarters for teachers. We live at the top on the left. On the street side, in an ancilliary room is our living room. Our rooms for eating and sleeping are in the main block, as is the study. Below on the left are servants' rooms and the Seminary kitchen. On the right in an ancilliary part is the current chapel. The tree at upper right conceals a building belonging to the Catholic mission." Annotation: "Eine Aufnahme vom Seminar. Auf der Strasse gehen Frauen hin & her. Zwischen der Strasse und dem Meer ist ein leerer Platz, der der Kirche gehört, dorthin soll rechts dann eine Kapelle kommen. Bei Flut reicht das Wasser höher hinauf. Das Haus links wäre billig zu kaufen als Lehrerwohnung. Wir wohnen also links oben, gegen die Strasse zu ein Nebenraum ist das Wohnzimmer, im Hauptgebäude Schlaf- & Essraum, daneben Studierzimmer. Unten links sind Dienst- Wohnzimmer und Küche des Seminars. Rechts im Anbau ist die jetzige Kapelle. Der Baum ganz rechts oben verdeckt ein Gebäude der katholischen Mission." Note translation: The translation of the annotations as they describe the Wyder's living quarters is difficult - someone who knows/knew this building could probably make more accurate sense of what is written here in German (PJ 09.1998).
