If you look closely at the facade, you can see how weathered it is becoming after all of the years of its existence. Here is an older photo by Edward S. Curtis of the same location from a different perspective:
This picture was taken over a hundred years ago as a gelatin silver print. The identification of the photo is "Facade, San Xavier del Bac Mission" in Edward S. Curtis The North American Indian, vol. II : the Pima, the Papago, the Qahatika, the Mohave, the Yuma, the Maricopa, the Walapai, the Havasupai, the Apache-Mohave, or Yavapai [portfolio] ; plate no. 51.
Here is another photo. This one from Rexford Newcomb, The Francisan Mission Architecture of Alta California, by Architectural Book Publishing Co., 1916.
