Opening an independent architectural practice in 1922 , Morgan contributed to the rebuilding of a number of buildings in the aftermath of the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923 . A number of his works still survive including Christ Church , Yokohama ( 1931 ) , Berrick Hall ( 1930 ) , and the ruins of the grandstand of the former Negishi Racecourse ( 1929 ) , all located in or close to the elevated Yamate neighbourhood in Yokohama . Morgan constructed his own private residence at Fujisawa , Kanagawa in 1931 . A community group has been formed to preserve this property but the historic structure suffered arson attacks by an unknown assailant in 2007 and 2008
