Description

A black and white photograph of the early construction of St. Francis de Assisi Catholic Church. It appears as the foundation of the church is about to be laid as two men in white shirts and pants stand near a cement mixer, and bags of cement are in the foreground. A man stands holding a blueprint or some other paperwork plan. Two other workers, likely Mexican American workers, are present, one stands near the foundation the other is climbing the scaffolding. The unfinished frame of the building is visible. This image is featured in the 2008 Riverside County Mexican American Historical Society Calendar. See “relation” to learn more.
