Description

Photograph of a view of the Mission Santa Clara de Asis, ca.1865(?). Two bell towers flank either side of the Romanesque entrance to the mission's main building. A bell is visible only in the left tower. Two auxiliary doors stand beneath the towers to either side of the arched central door. Wrought-iron fence extends from either side of the building, enclosing the property, in front of which a horse-drawn carriage is parked to the left. A large wooden cross stands in the foreground.
