San Gabriel CA California Mission Chrome Postcard Unused

The image is a postcard of the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, a historic landmark in San Gabriel, California.

It was founded by the Franciscan Fathers on September 8, 1771, as the fourth of the 21 Spanish missions in California.
The mission's unique architecture, including its capped buttresses and tall, narrow windows, was designed by architect Antonio Cruzado.
Construction of the current church building lasted from 1796 to 1805.
Today, it is a functioning Roman Catholic mission and a significant historical site.
