The ruins of one of the many early Missions. Most of these missions were built of adobe as this was a more economical means for the generally poor parishes.
Adobe ovens provided the controlled heat for the baking of various breads and other
mixtures of meals.
Typical adobe home of the Southwest, this type of structure is in great demand even now. The atributes of heat retention in the winter and cooling in the summer are a most desirabe feature. The cost differential from the early times to now has gone up considerable however the savings in fuel (heating) cost still make this the best buy.
