Continuing our Kartchner 2025 adventure with a stop in Tumacacori National Historic Park. Jason and Jaime really loved the history and the Museum. I was more interested in the buildings and architecture.
This is a view of continuing preservation and reconstruction efforts on the Mission.

Tumacácori National Historical Park is located in the upper Santa Cruz River Valley in Santa Cruz County, southern Arizona. The park consists of 360 acres (1.5 km2) in three separate units.[4] The park protects the ruins of three Spanish mission communities, two of which are National Historic Landmark sites. It also contains the landmark 1937 Tumacácori Museum building, also a National Historic Landmark.
After the Pima rebellion of 1751, the mission was moved to the present site on the west side of the Santa Cruz River and renamed San José de Tumacácori.[6] By 1848, the mission was abandoned and began falling into severe disrepair. In 1854 it became a part of the U.S. Arizona Territory, after the Gadsden Purchase.
Restoration and stabilization efforts began in 1908 when the site was declared Tumacácori National Monument by President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1990 it became part of the new Tumacácori National Historical Park.[6]

The meaning of the name "Tumacácori" is lost in history; however, there are some things that are known about the word. It's the English version of a Spanish version of an O'odham word or words which were what the O'odham residents told Kino that they called this place when he arrived and attempted to record it, but we don't know what they actually were trying to say to him. Visit the Frequently Asked Questions for more depth on this subject.
Father Kino established Tumacácori as a mission in January 1691, one day before Guevavi, making it the oldest mission site in what is now Arizona.

For many years it was a visita or visiting station of the mission headquarters at Guevavi. During most of those years, it was located on the east side of the Santa Cruz River and was called San Cayetano de Tumacácori. Services were held in a small adobe structure built by the Pima inhabitants of the village. After the Pima rebellion of 1751, the mission was moved to the present site on the west side of the river and renamed San José de Tumacácori. Here the first actual church edifice was built.

Lübeck 1988
O2 Academy, Leeds. Now a nightclub in Leeds, West Yorkshire, formerly the Gaumont cinema. Designed to look like a church, and opened in 1885 as a concert hall called the Coliseum, converted to a theatre a decade later. Gutted internally in 1938 to form the Gaumont Cinema (W E & W Sydney Trent with Daniel Mackay) which closed in 1961. Went under a number of uses including TV studio, bingo, workshop etc, before being largely gutted again to form a live music venue - the Town & Country Club - in 1992. It is currently known as the o2 Academy.
