Mission San Luis

Mission San Luis was built in 1633 in what is now Tallahassee, Florida, about 2 miles from the Capitol.  In 1704 it was evacuated and burned to keep it from falling into the hands of British and Creek Indian raiders. 

Beginning in 1996, Renker Eich Parks Architects, of St. Petersburg, Florida, with Herchel Sheperd, FAIA, undertook designing the reconstruction of many of the buildings in the mission using archeological and historical evidence to conjecture the architecture of the buildings to how they would originally have been built. The buildings that have since been reconstructed include the Church, the Convento, the Council House, the Chief's House, the Fort and Blockhouse, and a typical Spanish House as well as many minor features around the site.- (Wikipedia Article Link)
