This building was rebuilt after the 06 earthquake using the previous stones and designed by Julia Morgan.  The Presbyterian Church opened this Mission to protect the Asian girls from prostitution and sweatshops from the Tongs.  With the help of the police, nighttime raids were conducted rescuing the women, housing them, and teaching them a vocation of sewing.
