Old Church, Los Ranchos de Taos, is one of the finest specimens still standing of the early New Mexican architecture. It is massively constructed of adobe with two towers in front, the upper portions built of wood, and each surmounted by a cross. The main body measures 108 feet inside. Vigas are sustained by carved supports imbedded in the walls, and many vigas are also carved. According to the best knowledge the Church was built in 1772, and many objects of great interest remain unchanged J.R. Willis |
