Ranchos de Taos, NM [built c. 1810]
Drawer collage by PJ Cardinale
Located about three miles outside of Taos, New Mexico, this massive adobe structure was completed around 1810. The church has been in continuous use since it was completed. The apse (back of the church) with its massive stone and adobe buttresses is one of the most popular images of the Southwest and has been painted and photographed by such greats as Georgia O’Keeffe and Ansel Adams.
“It is understandable why the apse of this mission church has been so often photographed and painted: it proclaims geometric satisfaction mixed with naive forthrightness.”
— G. E. Kidder Smith
