Franciscan Mission Architecture of California. - book reviews

Sunset, March, 1991

Franciscan Mission Architecture of California Franciscan Mission Architecture of California, by Rexford Newcomb (Dover Publications, New York, 1973, reissued in 1988> $6.95), contains scaled drawings as well as black-and-white photographs of typical California missions as they existed in 1916, when the book was originally published and before reconstruction programs had begin.

The drawings of such details as fireplaces and doorways are especially interesting.
