Quadrangle Patio - Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad Historic District - Soledad, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

The patio encompasses the front part of the mission, above the museum and main entrance. This is said on the NRHP site, "The quadrangle patio is defined as the interior open space hat had existed within the confines of the four wings. Historically, the quadrangle patio was utilized for cooking, weaving, leather and metal work, candle making and other domestic work at the mission. An animal powered mill and a building to house it was once located at the center. There is also evidence of a zanja (drainage ditch) in the center of the quadrangle as well. This ditch drained toward the West Wing. A zaguan was located through the West Wing providing access. During the 1960s reconstruction, the center of the quadrangle was excavated with a backhoe and the overlying adobe melt was cleared.
Today, the interior quadrangle patio features a noncontributing octagonal adobe and stone 1967- era fountain and concrete path. The patio quadrangle also contains volunteer trees."
