San Diego - Old Adobe Chapel

The home of John Brown was purchased in 1858 by Don Jose Aguirre who made it into a chapel. Father Juan Molliner served as the resident priest for San Diego from 1857 until 1863. In the 1889s, the church was covered with wood siding and a shingle roof replaced the tile one and the chapel was used until 1917. The chapel was restored in 1937 after being closed up for 15 years.
