Brand Park is a beautiful and spacious park located at 15174 San Fernando Mission Boulevard, across the street from Mission San Fernando Rey de España. This photograph shows an unidentified woman sitting on the ledge of the original mission fountain - which now stands some 30 feet from its first location. Curiously enough, she sits next to the sign that clearly reads: "Keep Off Fountain". Also featured, but not visible in this shot, is an old soap works, a large and oddly shaped reservoir from which the mission fathers were supplied with water, and Barnham's life-sized statue of Father Junípero Serra, with his arm around an Indian boy. Mission San Fernando Rey de España is visible in the background, and is located at 15151 San Fernando Mission Boulevard.
