Mission Santa Cruz
From Santa Cruz County history wiki
Mission Santa Cruz was established in 1791 near today's intersection of Center and Laurel streets. The following year, construction began on a complex of buildings that formed the early nucleus of Santa Cruz. In 1931, Phelan family heir Gladys Sullivan Doyle funded construction of a reduced-scale mission chapel replica. The former chapel site is today's Holy Cross church.
