Description

Photograph of a drawing of Mission Santa Inez, by Henry Chapman Ford, ca.1883. To the right of the main building is a belfry wall with three arched openings in which bells are hung. The wall features a multi-curved parapet and a cross at the peak. To the left and attached to the main building is a long arcade featuring approximately 18 arches. Two people stand in the yard in front of the mission, tending to their flock of sheep(?). Trees and mountains are visible in the distance.; "Santa Inéz was the last mission built in Southern California. The only mission founded by Padre Estevan Tapes, it was dedicated to St. Agnes, a 13 year-old martyr who died in the fourth century. The mission was built too far from El Camino Real to become popular and too close to earthquake fault lines to last very long. After its destruction in the quake of 1812, a new church was finally dedicated in 1817 and the mission soon became home to California's first seminary. The mission fell into disrepair during secularization, but was never completely abandoned or parceled off." -- unknown author.
