San Francisco: Mission District
(Français)
The "Mission revival" architectural style, a style that was popular between 1890 and 1915, is characterized by the use of elements and materials similar to the first spanish missions in California. It gives a particular look to the whole Mission district. The impressive basilica of Mission Dolores (built in 1913), the neighboring chapel (built in 1791) and Mission High School (1924—1925) are landmarks of the district.
