2019/ Research Phase

Day 19: More observations

Dr. Mark Schuler July 24, 2019

One of my goals for this study season has been to revisit each part of the NIP and spend time looking for details that I have not seen before. I finished that process today.

Here is an example of new learning. I knew there was a bench on the west wall in the room across from the entrance to the south aisle of the church. But I had never noticed before that the bench is in two parts. Apparently, more space was needed for whatever was stored there.

Bench in two parts

Little insights make for better understanding.
