A Lost Heritage - The Casa Grande
This plantation style house was nicknamed Casa Grande. At the time it held living quarters for volunteers (males downstairs and females upstairs), the office, kitchen and dining room, and the clinic laboratory (seen through the open dutch door in the lower story). The upstairs balcony opened onto the common living room. Casa Grande was replaced in 1958 by a concrete administration building which has undergone several facelifts since then. Today, it houses an auditorium, administrative offices, and two cafeterias with their respective kitchens.
Casa Grande as we knew it in the early 1950's.
This perspective of the Casa Grande shows the main entrance up the steps to the office by the kitchen and dining room.
