omission IDolores The Mission of San Francisco de Assis on the Laguna de los Dolores was founded on June 29, 1776. Although it originally had the above title, the Mission is called Dolores because of the stream near it which has long since dried up, leaving no visible traces of its former bed. Situated almost in the center of the re- gion which was later to become a great commercial mart. Mission Dolores was at first surrounded by a peaceful Indian village — a veritable Utopia near the Golden Gate. Here there was no greed, no envy, no haste — only the quiet existence of a community worshipping God alone amid the solitude of a virgin wildnerness. What a striking antithesis to the great city now on the site! A visit to the old church which is still preserved, brings a vision of primitive skill: adobe walls four feet thick, the rough hewn redwood timbers of the roof, the original tiles of both ceiling and floor, gaudy Indian decorations, the ruined churchyard.
