San Francisco - Mission District: Mission San Francisco de Asís በ wallyg

Mission San Francisco de Asís, or Mission Dolores, at 320 Dolores Street, is the oldest surviving structure in San Francisco, and the sixth religious settlement established as part of the California chain of missions. The Mission was founded as La Misión de Nuestro Padre San Francisco de Asís (The Mission of our Father Saint Francis de Assisi) on June 29, 1776 by Lieutenant José Joaquin Moraga and Father Francisco Palóu under the direction of Father Junípero Serra, both members of the de Anza Expedition, which had been charged with bringing Spanish settlers to Alta (upper) California, and evangelizing the local Indians, the Ohlone. Named for St. Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan Order, it was more commonly known as Mission Dolores, owing to the presence of a nearby creek named Arroyo de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (Our Lady of Sorrows Creek). The original Mission building consisted of a log and thatch structure dedicated October 9, 1776 about a block and a half east at the intersection of Camp and Albion Streets. The present Mission church building, constructed of adobe, was dedicated in 1791. Although most of the Mission complex used for housing, agricultural and manufacturing have been altered or demolished, the facade of the chapel remains unchanged. Since its founding, the Mission's history has paralleled that of California's. As the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) strained relations between the Government and the Missions, supplies became scarce and by 1842, only eight Christian Native Americans were left at Mission Dolores. The California Gold Rush brought renewed activity to the area, and in the 1850s, some of the Mission properties were sold or leased for use as bars, gambling halls and racetracks, and a Gothic, brick parish church was raised to serve the new population. The 1906 earthquake destroyed the parish church, but the original adobe mission, with its thick walls survived. The building was restored in 1917 by Willis Polk. In 1918, a new parish church, now known as the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/3927128039/">Mission Dolores Basilica</a>, was built adjacent to the original Mission church.
