This is the Church of Santa Barbara, which is located in Randsburg, CA. Notice how the church is leaning toward the right. That is not an illusion; guy wires are used to keep the structure from toppling over.
The Church of Santa Barbara is the second Catholic church to be built in Randsburg. The first one was built in 1897, but was a casualty of one of the big fires that immolated much of the town in 1898.
Until a new church could be built, Mass was said at the Miner's Hall; the Church Of Santa Barbara was built in 1904 at a cost of $1000. Although not in regular use today, the Church of Santa Barbara is considered to be the Mother Church to the Parish of St. Ann in Ridgecrest.
