Description
Near the San Francisco de Asis was this blue window and ristra. The area, also known as "Ranchos Church," was built in the late 1700s and was made famous by Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams, among many other artists who became fascinated by its looming buttresses. The San Francisco de Asis Church is still an integral part of its community. Surrounding the church are shops, galleries, trading posts, and restaurants - all housed in old adobe buildings as well.
Every spring, the people of the community gather to mud a new layer of adobe on the walls, preserving their church in the time-worn ways of northern New Mexico, with a mixture of mud and straw. The work is called �enjarre�, or re-mud.
