The roof fell in thirty years ago.

At the eastern end, where the arch is, there are three or four rotten beams still in place; and on the south side of the ruins, where one line of corridors ran, a few poles still remain.

Heaps of ruined tiles lie here and there, just as they fell when the supporting poles rotted and gave way.
It is claimed by the Soberanes family in Soledad that the present ruins of the church are of the building erected about 1850 by their grandfather.

The family lived in a house just southwest of the Mission, and there this grandfather was born.

He was baptized, confirmed, and married in the old church, and when, after secularization, the Mission property was offered for sale, he purchased it.
