1924

“The Chogoria home. The sitting room, 1924.” Interior view of a sitting room with a set table, piano and writing bureau. The Chogoria bungalow was prefabricated in Nairobi and transported to Chogoria on seventy ox-carts. The construction was supervised by Mr Ernest Carr (1868-1939), father-in-law to Dr Irvine, who financed the mission in the first few years. ❧ 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.”
