The Old Franciscan Missions Of California

CHAPTER XXIII
11/14

A modern parish church has since been built upon the site.

Nothing of the original Mission now remains except a portion of the monastery.

The corridor is without arches, and is plain and unpretentious, the roof being composed of willows tied to the roughly hewn log rafters with rawhide.

Behind this is a beautiful old alameda of olives, at the upper end of which a modern orphanage, conducted by the Dominican Sisters, has been erected.

This avenue of olives is crossed by another one at right angles, and both were planted by the padres in the early days, as is evidenced by the age of the trees.
