Interior view towards pews and the altar
Originally built in 1850 as the home of San Diego's John Brown, the house was converted to a church by Don José Aguirre in 1858. Father Antonio D. Ubach, formerly a missionary among the Indians, was parish priest here from 1866 to 1907. In the late 1930's when the streets were realigned the chapel was bulldozed. In 1937 the WPA rebuilt the adobe chapel.
