About this object
View of a house, possibly the former residence of Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa taken on 17 July 1899.

The two-storey house is of timber construction with a corrugated iron roof. A group of people pose for the photograph on the verandah and upstairs balcony of the house.

A note on the album page reads: Stevenson's House, Samoa. This appears to refer to the writer Robert Louis Stevenson's house in the village of Vailima.

Photographer, Russell Duncan.
