Scope and content
The photo shows the first house of Mrs. Bergen, a widow, in Bergthal. The walls appear to be made of clay, the roof corrugated metal sheets. There is a tent like structure attached to one end of the house and it appears as if a child is standing under the veranda. A system for collecting rainwater from the roof is set up near the veranda. The yard has a fenced in area in the background and a pile of logs and a primitive plow can be seen.
