Second American Missionary Bungalow Impur, Nagaland

Second American Missionary Bungalow in Nagaland (Upper Bungalow). Constructed in 1896 under the supervision of American Missionary, Rev. S. A. Perrine. Nepalese sawyers were employed to cut the lumber; Nagas did not have the instruments at the time. As many as 200 Nagas in one day brought the lumber on their backs from the forest from 2 to 3 miles distance. Chinese carpenters built it under the direction of the Garo Mission. The site faces pressures of urbanisation.
