Description
English: Mission Church at Rancho de Taos — northern New Mexico, built circa 1772.
  • Platinum print photograph by Laura Gilpin in 1930. Reproduction #: LC-USZC4-3921 (color transparency).
  • Built in 1772 by Spanish missionaries and native Americans, the Mission Church is an amalgam of European and indigenous building traditions. Made of adobe, a brick composed of straw and mud, the walls slope outward to buttress the structure and to fend off the effects of torrential rains.
  • The Mission Church was recorded in photographs and drawings by the Historic American Buildings Survey in the 1930s and has enjoyed great popularity with artists such as photographer Laura Gilpin and painter Georgia O'Keefe, who both lived nearby. (Gift of the photographer).
