Founded in 1777, the Santa Clara Mission was moved to this site after flooding damaged the first two churches. Construction began in 1781 under Jose Murguia, and Junipero Serra dedicated the Mission in 1784. An earthquake damaged the adobe structure in 1818, and a fourth church was later built where the current Mission now stands. The Women’s Club Adobe at 3260 The Alameda is a remnant of the third Mission complex.
