Photograph of the interior of Mission San Miguel Arcangel, California, showing the choir loft over the front door, ca.1904. Wooden stairs at right lead up to the loft surrounded by a wooden balustrade. A ladder further up probably leads to the bell tower. There are almost no furnishings on the ground floor. Two pictures topped with crosses are on the walls.
