, and the
pair
moved
to
Los
Angeles
the
following
year
. He

in the
film
industry
from the
late
1930s
to the
mid-1940s
,
most
notably
on the
animated
features
Fantasia

Schultheis

.
It
was on
one
of these

disappeared
in the
jungles
of
Guatemala

discovered
18
months

area
in

.
Historical Data
Founded
June
12
,
1798
by
Father
Lasuen
, then
president
of the
California
missions
, and
administered
by
Father
Peyri
,
Mission
San
Luis
Rey
de
Francia
is
notable
for its
impressive
architecture
, a
composite
of
Spanish
,
Moorish
, and
Mexican
.
Between
1798-1832
the
mission
became
home
to
three
thousand
Luiseno
Indians
,
who
were
native
to the
area
.
Secularized
after
Mexican
independence
in
1821
, the
land
was to be
returned
to the
Indians
,
however
administrators
gained
title
leaving
nothing
to the
Luisenos
. From
1847-1857
U.S
.
soldiers
used
the
mission
as a
base
. In
1850
California
became
part
of the
United
States
, and in
1865
Abraham
Lincoln
returned
the
mission
to the
Catholic
Church
.
It
was
abandoned
until
1892
when
a
group
of
Mexican
Franciscans
came
. From
1892-1912
, the
Franciscans
repaired
the
church
and
built
living
quarters
on the
foundations
of the
old
mission
(where
the
museum
is
today)
.
Ongoing
restoration
includes
:
partial
rebuilding
of the
quadrangle
in
1949
for a
college
that
is
now
a
Retreat
Center
,
excavating
the
soldier's
barracks
and
Indian
laundry
, and
preserving
the
exterior
of the
church
building
in
1984
.
Art
conservation
and
archaeological
research
are
ongoing
.
Mission
San
Luis
Rey
is
located
at
4050
Mission
Avenue
in
Oceanside
, and was
designated
California
State
Historical
Landmark
#239
in
1936
. The
1815
Mission
Church
was
designated
National
Historic
Landmark
#70000142
in
1970
.
Description
It
is
unclear
what this
wooden
structure
was
used
for.
It
is
located
in the
fields
beyond
the
ruins
of the
arcade
that was
part
of the
original
quadrangle
,
so
might
have been
used
for
farming
.
California's
oldest
pepper
tree
,
planted
in
1830
is
visible
behind
the
arcade
, and
ruins
of the
bases
show
how the
arcade
connected
to the
carriage
arch
.
Only
the
carriage
arch
remains
.
