View of the cloister at Mission Santa Inez, 1890

Photograph of a view of the cloister at Mission Santa Inez, 1890. The stucco on the walls of the cloister is deteriorating. Part of the wall on the adjoined building has deteriorated. A horse stands near the fence enclosing the front half of the cloister and part of the church (at right). Next to the church is a belfry. Chickens (or birds?) loiter on the ground near the cloister.; "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.
