Description
Photograph shows the east elevation exterior view of the Mission San Juan Bautista. This view features (from left to right) the arcade, the tower, and the church.
La Misión del Glorios Precursor de Jesu Cristo, Nuestro Señor San Juan Bautista was founded June 24, 1797 and is the largest of the Spanish missions in California. The adobe buildings were built between 1797 and 1812. The wooden tower was added around 1874 and was rebuilt in 1926. From: Wikipedia: Mission San Juan Bautista http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Juan_Bautista (accessed 10/10/11) and the Historic American Building Survey, Library of Congress: Mission San Juan Bautista, Second Street, San Juan Bautista Plaza, San Juan Bautista, San Benito, CA http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/CA0557/ (accessed 10/10/11).
I believe this is the San Juan Bautista Mission based on the perspective from this photograph: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/displayPhoto.pl?path=/pnp/habshaer/ca/ca0500/ca0558/photos&topImages=014969pr.jpg&topLinks=014969pv.jpg,014969pu.tif&title=2.%20%20Historic%20American%20Buildings%20Survey%20Roger%20Sturtevant,%20Photographer%20Feb.%2016,%201934%20CHURCH%20FROM%20NORTH-EAST%20%3Cbr%3EHABS%20CAL,35-SAJUB,1A-2&displayProfile=0 See also: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/displayPhoto.pl?path=/pnp/habshaer/ca/ca0500/ca0557/photos&topImages=014967pr.jpg&topLinks=014967pv.jpg,014967pu.tif&title=4.%20%20Historic%20American%20Buildings%20Survey%20Roger%20Sturtevant,%20Photographer%20Feb.%2016,%201934%20EAST%20ELEVATION%20MONASTERY%20AND%20CHURCH%20%28FRONT%29%20%20%20%20%20%3Cbr%3EHABS%20CAL,35-SAJUB,1-4&displayProfile=0 See also this drawing: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/displayPhoto.pl?path=/pnp/habshaer/ca/ca0500/ca0557/sheet&topImages=00004a.gif&topLinks=00004r.tif,00004a.tif&title=&displayProfile=0 Other photographs do not include all the elements seen in this image.
