Fig. 27:

Photo from the same standpoint as fig. 26
Photograph by Ernst Schäfer
1938/1939
Schäfer has just moved his camera slightly to the right after capturing fig. 26 – in order to get this view. It shows even clearer the build-up of the roof with the canopy over the main entrance to the right. In the background the small houses for doctors that are totally erased today. One can also notice the narrow footpaths below, which gave access to the Medical College.
