Additional Details:
San Luis Obispo de Toloso, the fifth Mission in California, was founded September 1, 1772. It was here that the well known Mission tiles were first manufactured. In their earlier days the Missions were hatched with tules. As warlike Indians listing this place shot burning arrows onto the inflammable roof the tiles became a peaces lay for protection from fire. Later they were used on all the Mission buildings.
