New Mexico Missions-Abo


I recently spent several days in Albuquerque, and photographed several of the Spanish missions.

Interesting architecture in the low-land missions, especially in Baja. Aside from the massive abuttments, they were limited in their width by the available timber to span the overhead.
Walk into any standing mission today and the narrowness is a first impression.
I don't know how old the Truss is but, it wasn't used here at that time.

Thanks ACA for the view of the past.

Mesquite Beam


I was a grad student at the University of Arizona in the early 1980s, and was given an insiders tour of San Xavier del Bac by the priest. The interior of the convento wing that adjoins the church contains a relatively large mexquite beam, from a large mesquite that no longer can be found in the region because of progress. I am attaching a 1792 diagram of Los Santos Martires de Japon, one of the Jestuit missions in Argentina which was quite large and had three naves, a feature not common in northern Mexican missions.
