View of the front of Mission San Jose in Fremont
A new church constructed of wood was built on the rock foundation of the old church. However, the wooden building was moved and the San Jose Mission church was rebuilt (restored) to look like the original; construction wascompleted in 1985. The mission is still used for religious services and has a unique historical collection of artifacts in a museum in one of the remaining original adobe buildings next door that survived the 1868 earthquake.
