DESIGN OF THE MISSION
Church building:� 126 feet long, 30 anxiety wide, 24 feet high; made of adobe and redwood.� Tile roof; tile floor.
Style:� Evidently; outside undecorated except for a dark wood gable.� The side walls are supported by large buttresses.� Semicircular brick steps lead up a slight rising to the front end of the church.� Interior was painted past Mexican artist Agust�n D�vila, who too painted the wooden base of the copper baptismal font. The paintings on the walls requite the perspective of marble columns and balconies.� The chantry area has carved wooden furnishings, 23-karat gold leafage trim, and a very old statue of St. Joseph.
Walls:� Vary from four to five anxiety thick.
Bell Belfry :� A low square tower adjoins the church to the left of the entrance.� The four bells are originals.
Mission Compound:� A quadrangle of buildings covered five acres with a padres' residence fly, storerooms, and work-shops.� Father Dur�n and Father Fortuni taught the Costanoan Indians how to exercise carpentry, rope-making, leather tanning, weaving, sewing, and shoe making. Unique to this mission was a hot spring from which warm water was channeled to a lavender�a (laundry basin) in front end of the church.
Mission Grounds:� The livestock at San Jos� started with 600 head of cattle and a flock of sheep given by Mission Santa Clara as a founding gift.� The herds multiplied, and the rich soil produced fine vineyards and fruit and olive orchards.� A flour mill, soap factory, tannery, and adobe houses for the workers were added.� This was the virtually successful of the northern missions both in terms of numbers of native workers and agricultural output.� In 1832 there were 24,000 head of livestock on 20,000 acres of land.� Yet, much of the early action at the mission was of a military nature as soldiers from the San Francisco Presidio used information technology every bit a base to make forays confronting the local tribes.� In 1827 trapper Jedediah Smith stayed at the mission, and Kit Carson was a visitor in that location in 1830.

MISSION SAN JOSE TODAY
By the early 1900'south all that was left of the original mission was a part of the padres' residence wing.� With some repair work in 1916 and once again in 1950, a small museum was opened in this building.�
A major attempt from 1982-1985 resulted in a replica of the mission church built on the site. Authentic materials and historical tools were used, though the new adobe is reinforced to brand it stronger.� Archeologists unearthed some of the original floor tiles. Richard Menn of Carmel was able to recreate D�vila's paintings by following the designs on the baptismal font.� All 4 of the original mission bells were returned to the church.
In the museum are exhibits showing the skills of the Costanoan (Ohlone) Indians of the area, also equally life in mission days, the work and the recreation.
Mission San Jose was well-known for its orchestra and choir.� Among other talents, Father Dur�n was a musician, and he taught the mission Indians to make and play musical instruments. People came from other missions to hear the concerts, and the orchestra was in demand for weddings and fiestas.� In 1832 an inventory listed xx violins, iv bass viols, one contrabass, 1 drum, 1 mitt organ, and 26 band uniforms.� In 1819 Father Dur�north had requested a pipe organ. That request was finally filled in 1989 when a pipe organ (in the style of 19th-century Mexican organs) was installed.
