San Rafael Presbyterian Church
Conejos County
The circa 1895 church, which was lengthened in 1911, is one of the oldest extant adobe churches in Conejos County.
The oblique entry and bell tower, with its pyramidal roof and tall spire, create an asymmetrical composition that is quite different from the typical Territorial Adobe church. The building also represents the inroads made by the Presbyterian Church into Hispanic southern Colorado, which was predominately Catholic. It is the only remaining Spanish-speaking Presbyterian church in Conejos County.
