Chapel of San Miguel

The Chapel of San Miguel is the oldest church in Santa Fe. At Old Santa Fe Trail and De Vargas streets, about two blocks from the state capitol, San Miguel was originally built in 1626, although nothing of that building remains. The Pueblo Revolt began, it is said, with the burning of San Miguel. The chapel\'s sculpture of San Miguel, the church\'s patron, was carved in Mexico in 1709. In 1710, the chapel was completely rebuilt. Later, in 1859, Archbishop Lamy and the Christian Brothers of Santa Fe bought the chapel, and it became a part of Saint Michael\'s College.

W. Henry Brown (1844-1886) was a stereo photographer active in the American Southwest. With G.C. Bennett, he formed Bennett & Brown (active 1870s-1880s). The collection consists of 23 images, including eight from the series A Visit to Los Cerrillos Mining District and eight from The Indian Pueblo of Cochiti and Vicinity.
