That same view now looks like this:
And a closer view looks like this:
In these images, I have shown
the Google Earth “thumbtack” markers that I have included
for Kwality and the Missionary House in the Downloads (in
Miscellany) since the site began (and before the
high-resolution images appeared on Google Earth). I’m
pretty sure that the Kwality location is correct. I
confirmed it from some contemporary maps. However, my
question for anyone from the first four or five Global
Semesters is: have I located the Missionary House
correctly? I suspect that I haven’t and that the
correct location is about halfway between the current
thumbtack and the traffic circle to the west. I would
appreciate knowing how the rest of you remember this.
(Click on the Contact Me link at the bottom of this page
and send me an e-mail.)
It does appear to me that the Missionary House, and the
compound as we knew it, is gone and that something else has
been added or altogether replaced what we all remember.
If you don’t want to download the thumbtack and want to
peruse the area for yourself on Google Earth, the road in
front of the compound that we remember as Kutchery Road is
now called Mahatma Gandhi Marg.
