Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A view of the missionary establishment at Hanaroorah, Woahoo, taken Oct. 11, 1820, by Dexter Chamberlain.

No. 1 is the house for public worship, school, room for Mr. B. It is 28 ft. long and 20 wide, has two doors and three windows. The window that appears at the south end looks out towards the open sea, which is about a mile distant. The door at the opposite end opens towards the mountain and towards the road leading from the village eastward to Wititi.

No. 2 is a dwelling house, it has one door and three windows, two rooms, one for a lodging room for Mrs. Loomis, and the other for orphan girls.
No. 3 is a dwelling house occupied by Capt. Chamberlain and family, it has one door, four windows and three rooms.
No. 4 is a store house about 30 ft. square, built like the others in the same line and with the same materials, viz., round poles from 1 to 8 inches in diameter and thatched with grass, super-added to which are walls and a covering of mortar made of clay and grass to secure it from fire and from rogues.
No. 5 is a dwelling house now occupied by Dr. Wiliems and unfortunate British seamen, but intended for a lodging house for John Honorii and orphan boys. (Not shown in the frontispiece.)
No. 6 is a small cooking house where the stoves and a large boiler are set up. This is covered with mortar.
No. 7 is a Ranai or a long open building connecting the doors of these houses, having itself three entrances, two on the south side and one to the east end.
No. 8, the spring of water.

"Prof. Alexander states that the sketch seems to have been taken from a point southwest or seaward from the houses looking inland. The road mentioned is no doubt identical with King street and the existing row of ancient buildings now preserved by the Cousins' Society probably occupy the former site of the first missionary houses."
