Historical Data	Founded by father Fermi´n Lasue´n on September 8, 1797 in Mission Hills, Mission San Fernando Rey de Espan~a (originally La Misio~n del Sen~or Fernando, Rey de Espan~a) is located on the former settlement of Encino Rancho. It was the seventeenth mission built in Alto California. It was built in a quadrangle, similar to other missions, in which the church makes up one corner. The Convento stands apart from the quadrangle; it took 13 years to construct and was completed in 1822. Most noted for its 21 Roman arches, it is the largest two-story adobe structure in California. Now, the second floor is used for storage. The Convento Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 - Building #88002147. And in 1999, the entire Mission San Fernando Rey de Espan~a was added to the National Register of Historic Places as well - Building #71001076. It has also been dedicated as California Historic Landmark #157. It continues to serve as a parish church.
Description	Warm weather brought these four youngsters out for a bike ride past the famed 21 Roman arches of the San Fernando Rey de Espan~a Mission's Convento colonnade, or archway. The road that would eventually become El Camino Real is visible on the right. San Fernando Rey de Espan~a Mission is located at 15151 San Fernando Mission Boulevard. Photograph dated July 7, 1973.
