| Mission San Francisco de Asis, or Mission Dolores, is the oldest surviving structure in San Francisco and the seventh religious settlement established as part of the California chain of missions. Mission Dolores, the oldest intact building in San Francisco, was constructed from 1782-1791 with Native American labor. It has been used continuously for religious purposes since that time. | |
| The Mission was founded in 1776 by Father Francisco Palou under the direction of Father Junipero Serra. The chapel is an excellent example of vernacular colonial Spanish architecture. The walls are constructed of adobe brick four feet thick and the roof beams are of redwood. Traditional Indian designs have been reproduced on the ceiling with vegetable dyes. The adjacent cemetery includes many significant burials, including that of Don Luis Antonio Arguello, the first Governor of California under Mexican rule. Don Jose Joaquin Moraga, the first commandante of the Presidio of San Francisco, is buried under the altar of the church. The Mission was restored in 1920 by architect Willis Polk. | |
