The plaque reads as follows:
Chapel of San Ramon
This Redwood frame chapel erected in 1875 by
Frederick and Ramona Foxen Wickenden for Area

Frame churches of the later American Settlers.
It is a unique example of the use of Wood to
create strong, simple forms that had formerly
been executed in Adobe.
