Description
Photograph of an exterior view of an adobe church on Johnson Avenue, San Luis Obispo County, 1938. At right, a one-story adobe is pictured, its roof threadbare, some of its planks and shingles torn away. In the foreground, tall grass inundates a wooden fence and gate, above which a sign that faintly reads "cemetery" can be seen. An earlier version of the record reads: "built in early days to serve Protestant settlers (later deserted as shown)".
