Panel #5. Mission San Francisco de Asis, named for the founder of the Franciscan order, St.Francis od Assisi, is popularly known as Mission Dolores. That name comes from a stream named Arroyo de los Dolores originally on the property. That stream and its adjoining lake were filled in years ago. Mission Dolores, the sixth of California's 21 missions, was founded in 1776 by a missionary named Palou. The chapel that stands today was completed in 1791 and restored in 1917 by architect Willis Polk. (text from a plaque on the wall)
