Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Mission San Francisco de Asis, prior to its restoration, taken by artist and photographer Edward Vischer, 1873. The mission is pictured at center, a barn-like two-story building made from adobe brick. A balcony extends from the second supported by the two columns that flank either side of the building's portico entrance. A wrought-iron fence stands in front while a picket fence to the right of the main building separates it from a long, open-air adobe patio. The spackle is coming of the adobe walls. The road in the foreground is unpaved and lined by a short wall of stones. Image acquired(?) by C.C. Pierce around 1920.
