Description
This early version of St. Raphael's Catholic Church was built on the site of the original Mission San Rafael Archangel at present day 1104 Fifth Avenue, San Rafael. The church was consecrated on October 22, 1870 by Bishop Croke of New Zealand. This illustration is from a brochure titled San Rafael Illustrated and Described, published by W.W. Elliott & Co., in 1884. The brochure shows images of early San Rafael and was designed as a promotional piece, meant to attract new residents and investors to Marin County's most populous town. The original lithographs were made from the sketches of Mr. Chris Jorgensen, a teacher at the San Francisco Art School and noted artist.
