 | Compost vaulted toilet at Turn Point. Credit: Rich Ray. |  | Sectional axonometric views. Measured drawing delineated by Roland Rodriguez, 1983. (Reproduction Number: HABS TX-319, sheet 2 of 12) The church depicted in these axonometric views is one of the oldest surviving mission churches in the American Southwest. Built in the mid-eighteenth century by Franciscan monks from Spain, the church once served as the centerpiece of a large missionary compound. In its heyday, the mission included a convent, farmland, workshops, a granary, and a pueblo, or quarters, for christianized American Indians. In common with many Catholic churches built at the same time in Spain and Europe, this church features a vaulted stone roof, twin towers, and a dome over the crossing. Credit: Library of Congress. |
