Description: “Workshop.” Exterior view showing stonemasons constructing a stone pillar for a building at Chogoria. After finding deposits nearby, in 1946, Dr Irvine started quarrying volcanic tuff, a stone that was easy to work, for use in the construction of hospital and school buildings in the mission. ❧ The image is from the collection of Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) showing the period from 1928-1961 at the Chogoria mission which was established in 1922.
