| 説明 | The mortuary chapel in the cemetery of the Tumacácori National Historical Park in Tumacácori, Arizona.According to the National Park Service:"The unfinished mortuary chapel occupies the south center of the rectangular enclosure. This building, evidently intended as a place in which to lay out the dead in preparation for burial, where the priest would likely have urged the Indians to have their wakes, is of adobe bricks, with fired brick cornice and molding, and had one plaster coat. Entrance was by means of an arched opening on the west side. In the north and south sides of this circular building, well above head height of a standing person, are two round holes, much larger on the inside than on the outside. These were presumably for light and ventilation.The dome of the mortuary chapel was never built, nor was the second plaster coat applied. Many brick fragments were worked, without a pattern, into the base plaster, and must have been intended to give it a rough surface, so as to provide a good bond for the intended finish coat. The entire structure has suffered severely from weathering, with plaster peeling off and adobe washing away. The National Park Service has coated the weathered earthen surfaces with a cement-lime-sand mortar which follows the irregular contours, and keeps rain water from continuing its destructive action." |
