| La Casa del Padre Serra is Padre's Living Quarters. It is believed that this room was part of a long building forming one side of the quadrangle and was built about 1774. It is believed that this is the only section of the original mission construction that has survived attacks, earthquakes, and abandonment. | |
 Mission San Diego is still a vital operating parish. This is the newer church. 1-11-04. |

This web site started because of my love for the Spanish Missions in the United States. This web site is for your benefit and I make no profit on it. I don't allow paid advertising. This site is supported primarily from my regular paycheck as a Set Designer and there haven' been many this year. My wife sells Gold Canyon products at www.valleygirlcandles.com and I sell art at www.klimages.com. A non-tax deductable donation to help cover the cost of operating this web site may be made to Kesign Design Consulting through PayPal ... |
| This site began as a light hearted alternative to my commercial design portfolio site. This site's only purpose is for your enjoyment. If you are in the need of a designer, please check my commercial site www.kesigndesign.com. |
