TWW Comment
This print shows the mission in disrepair after years of government and military use. In 1862 ownership was restored to the Catholic church, but restoration of the buildings was slow to progress. Works began under Father Anthony Ubach in the 1880s but stalled after his death in 1907, before beginning again in 1931.
