Description
Photograph of Mission San Gabriel from the front showing the priest's residence, 1908. The lower portion has a Moorish quality to the series of nine arches which enclose the porch at the entry. The upper portion is more traditional Mission style, however constructed from wood rather than adobe brick. The square bell tower, four-stories high, has a dome on top. A picket fence encloses a courtyard at right. Part of another two-story building is visible at far right. A short palm tree grows in the yard in front of the mission. A wooden trap door with latch covers a small square opening in the yard. The curb of the street is visible in the foreground at bottom.
