Description (Brief)
This postcard view of San Gabriel Mission was printed using photomechanical processes by the California Postcard Company (1925-1935) in Los Angeles, California.
Mission San Gabriel Arcángel was founded on September 8, 1771, near the city of Montebello, California. The fourth of twenty-one Spanish Franciscan missions built in California between 1769 and 1823, it was established to convert American Indians of the Tongva tribe to Catholicism. The mission was moved in 1775 to its present location in Los Angeles County.
Today the mission includes a church and a museum.
