Photographer: Ansel Adams
Taken: Circa 1936
Caption: Marker photo of Corpus Christi Church
Additional Description: "This photograph was taken by Ansel Adams sometime soon after the completion of the church in 1936, presenting the front of the present-day church. Although the details are presently unknown, a parish family commissioned Mr. Adams to capture the original exterior and interior. The church building is often thought to represent California Mission architecture, but, in a gesture to its home city, is actually based on the ecclesiastical architecture of the Piedmont hills in 10th century Italy."
