Page 29 contains two photographs:
(a, top) This photograph has a typed label "The Monastery, 1889". The photograph (which has been cut into a circle and affixed to white stock paper) shows the structure (known as the Monastery) in the background. The porch on the first story level is most visible in the photograph. Other buildings can be barely discerned to the left. The light in the background is such that it obscures most items. Interestingly, in the foreground, a silhouette of a man wearing a hat can be seen, an image the camera has captured.
(b, bottom) This photograph has a typed label "Springhouse Near the Monastery, 1889". this photograph shows the springhouse with its door and window intact, built into a hillside and covered by earth on three sides and on top. This photograph has also been cut into a circle and affixed to white stock paper which has then been attached to the scrapbook page.Collection
