First adobe building in California. Made out of pure adobe mud,straw and adobe bricks and tiles!
Mission San Antonio de Padua is at its second location and currently has its third church that was built. The first site, founded in 1771 by Father Junipero Serra was the third mission along the Camino Real. In 1773, Mission San Antonio was moved to its current location. A dam was built on the nearby San Antonio River where 3 miles of aqueducts were constructed with a reservoir to provide a reliable water source. Later, a water-powered flour mill (1806) was completed. A small adobe church was built in 1775. A 2nd church was built (1779-1781). Kiln-dried roof tiles were used, the first of all missions. In 1802, construction of adobe buildings for soldiers began. In 1804, the cemetery was established. A tannery was built in 1808. In 1809, adobe buildings for converts was started. From 1810-1813, construction of the 3rd (and current) church was started. A building (1815) for shops was built for weaving, carpenter, stable, etc. The bell tower facade was built in 1821.
