Santa Barbara Mission, Santa Barbara, California
Uses of Locally Quarried Stone
Front of Santa Barbara Mission & Lavanderia (Contd.)
Locally quarried sandstone was used in the construction of the lavanderia at the Santa Barbara Mission. (See the bottom of the previous page to read the transcriptions of the two signs that describe the history of the lavanderia.) If you would like to read more about the Santa Barbara Mission and view more photographs, visit the sections about the California missions in the “History of Quarrying in California from the California Indians Up to Present Time” section of our web site. (These photographs were taken in mid-January, 2011, by Peggy B. Perazzo and Pat Perazzo.)
