Mission La Purisma Concepcion main front in disrepair with a fountain, ca.1885

Photograph of Mission La Purisma Concepcion main front in disrepair with a fountain, ca.1885. In the background at center, the roof of the mission is showing signs of slight collapse. Several small columns border the side of the mission and support the crumbling roof. The small, shrub-peppered hill behind it recedes into a sky almost completely free of clouds. In the foreground, what appears to be a round fountain also shows signs of disrepair.
