Title	Portrait of Father Reguernes (or Regnerneo?) entering the holy (or sacred) garden of Mission Santa Barbara, 1895
Description	Photographic portrait of Father Reguernes (or Regnerneo?) entering the holy (or sacred) garden of Mission Santa Barbara, 1895. Father Reguernes can be seen standing on the last step of the stairs of the building of which he just exited. In front of him is a path that leads to another building in the background. Benches line the pathway. Before him is the garden adorned with bushes, trees and cactus.; "Mission Santa Barbara was the tenth of the California missions to be founded by the Spanish Franciscans. It was established on the Feast of St. Barbara, Dec 4, 1786. Padre Junipero Serra, who founded the first nine missions, had died 2 years earlier. Serra had planned to build this mission, raising the cross at the presidio of Santa Barbara in 1782. It was Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, his successor, who raised the cross here and placed Padre Antonio Paterna, a companion of Serra, in charge. Paterna put up the first buildings and made the first converts. The original buildings were of adobe and unpretentious. As the years passed, there was progress and development. There were three adobe churches here, each larger than the other, before the present church. The third was destroyed by earthquake in 1812. Thereafter the present church was planned. It was finished and dedicated in 1820. The present friary residence was built gradually, first one story, then a second was added. It was not finished until 1870. The beautiful fountain in front of the Mission was built in 1808. The earthquake of June 29, 1925 damaged the Mission Church and friary considerably. Restoration work was completed in 1927 and the towers reinforced in 1953." -- unknown author.
