La Lomita Chapel in Mission
Photographer: J. Griffis Smith

La Lomita Chapel

Hidden away in Texas mesquite, La Lomita (Little Hill) Chapel was built in 1865, an adobe overnight way station for Oblate padres who regularly traveled on horseback between Brownsville and Roma. Tiny (12-by-25 feet) structure, rebuilt of sandstone in 1889, still exhibits original brick floors, rough, heavy-beamed ceilings shaped from native trees, an outdoor "beehive" oven and original water well. Surrounding park provides picnic facilities, cooking grills, rest rooms, brick walkways and historical site signs. Three miles south of U.S. 83 on F.M. 1016.
