This was frequently admired as an example of the ideal environment for a mission. The first mission buildings were established under the supervision of Sergeant Pedro Amador in 1797. It contained a guard house, convento, fence, chapel and barracks. The first permanent chapel was built of adobe and completed in 1809. In 1868, the Mission Church got severely dismantled by an earthquake on the Hayward Fault. Father Julian Federey decided to build a wooden Norman Gothic church to replace the adobe structure, which was then built directly over the old rock foundations and tile floor. Following years later, a Victorian Rectory was constructed between the wooden church and the only remaining adobe building, which is now the museum today (Old Mission San Jose & Museum). In 1853, Mission San Jose was known as the St Joseph Parish and the 1869 structure as St Joseph’s Church.
