  • (PD) Image: Abraham Lincoln President Abraham Lincoln's signature as it appeared on the United States Patent that restored the Mission property to the Catholic Church in 1865. This is one of the few documents that the President signed as "A. Lincoln" instead of his customary "Abraham Lincoln." [2]

  • (PD) Painting: Fred Behre / John Gutzon Borglum An 1894 painting by Frederick Behre features a wildly-improbable steeple over the entrance of San Juan Capistrano's "Great Stone Church" (it was incorrectly believed to portray the way the church looked before the 1812 earthquake; archaeological excavations in 1938 revealed that the steeple placement as shown in the painting was impossible).[3] The landscape in the background of this painting was later modified by John Gutzon Borglum.[4] Watercolor and gouache.

  • (PD) Photo: The University of California Archives The partially-restored plaza at Mission San Juan Capistrano as it appeared circa 1896. To the right is the sala, which served as the Mission chapel from 1891 until Serra's chapel was restored in the mid-1920s; the building also housed the Forster family during their time at the Mission.[5] Just left of center is Father Mut's former residence, including the loft he had constructed.[6]

  • (PD) Photo: William Henry JacksonOne of the earliest examples of "Mission Revival Style" architecture, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway depot in San Juan Capistrano (with its 40-foot [12-meter] high dome and bell) was considered to be one of the railroad's finest when it was completed on October 8, 1894; it officially entered service on October 27 of that year.[7] The San Juan Capistrano station has remained in use and today is served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system, and Metrolink, a commuter railroad.
