Mission San Juan Capistrano, ca. 1915. This is the very famous mission, founded by Juniper Serra (now a Catholic Saint). The mission is now a popular tourist destination, and has been extensively restored.
Bear in mind that this photograph was taken decades before the Zone System was formally described (Ansel Adams was 13 years old at the time). I wonder if Bledsoe had an Actinograph?
