Description
Photograph of ruins showing doorways and windows of Mission Santa Margarita, ca.1906. Stucco, almost completely fallen from the walls, exposes the stone and mortar construction of the arched openings, one of which is lined up, in this perspective, with another arched entry visible through a window. The ground is littered with debris from the eroding structure. Part of a wooden post and rail fence is visible in the background through the entryway. There is no roof remaining.
