Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the side of the San Antonio Church in Placentia, ca.1900. The church is a single-story wooden clapboard building with a tall bell tower topped by a cross at right. A row of four rectangular windows is visible along the side at center, and a dark door leads to a small room attached to the main church at left. A dirt path winds its way through the rough grass in front of the church at right and intersects with another path in the foreground. A line of tall, thin trees runs directly behind the church building, and several thicker trees are visible in the distance at right. Photoprint reads: "Don Bernardo Yorba's gift, San Antonio Church on his Rancho San Antonio, Esperanza Road, East of Placentia. The first church, an adobe, was dedicated April 20, 1860, and was destoyed by the elements, about 1880. It was replaced at the same location, by this wooden church, and lasted from 1880 until April of 1956, when it was demolished by order of the Catholic Church, when they decided to make Yorba and Placentia one Diocese, and built a new church in Placentia.
