Silk Culture Building

Dublin Core

Title

Description

This building was sponsored by the British, American and French chambers of commerce in 1918 to enhance silk production in south China through teaching and research. The College of Sericulture was founded in 1921. The building became the Union Theological School later on, hence the cross that stands serenely on the green-tiled roof.

此座樓房本為英、美、法商會在一九一八年資助嶺南作為提升蠶絲質量的教學與研究之用。一九二一年蠶絲學院正式成立，其後樓房改為神學院。看到陽光徧照大地，十字架靜靜地佇立在綠瓦之上，一切平和靜謐。
