The Compound in 1890

Here’s an artist rendition of what the Antoine compound looked like around 1890. The house in the forefront to the left is where Abojevi/Robert Antoine lived.  The small, white house with the red roof is the convent – where the dancers stay during the feast. To the left of that is the main house. The open area with the thatched roof is where the ceremonies were held and is called the tent. The private, family cemetery is the clear, open area at the top right of the sketch.
