Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Mission San Diego ruins looking from the south, November 28, 1886. The remaining adobe walls of a wrecked building stand in the left foreground, obscuring the two-story barn-style adobe behind it, which appears to be mostly intact, save for chipping spackle and a roof that has buckled on the right side. Its windows also appear to be boarded up. To its right, the anterior wall of a second ruined adobe is visible, roofless. Low-growing vegetation is visible on the dusty ground in front. Text written-in along the bottom of the image identifies the mission and date as well as the photographer, "Turrill", likely California historian Charles Beebe Turrill.
