Chapel of San Ramon

The Chapel of San Ramon, located between Santa Maria and Los Olivos, California, is a historical landmark. Erected in 1875 by Frederick and Ramona Foxen Wickenden for local settlers, the redwood framed chapel sits on a quaint hillock overlooking the surrounding country side.  It offers a unique example of the use of wood to create strong, simple forms that had previously been constructed in adobe brick. It beautifully illustrates the transition between the architecture of the old missions and the frame churches of the later American settlers. And old cemetery with some very interesting headstones of the local pioneers surrounds the Chapel of San Ramon. There are many ghost stories involving the old Sisquoc church grounds and some have become local legends.
