In the early 19th century, churches at Ranchos de Taos (1805-1815[52]; Figure 9G), Chimayo (about 1810; Figure 9H), and Córdova (after 1830; Figure 9I) continued to employ the trapezoidal sanctuary form. By midcentury, _penitente_ brotherhoods are known to have been active in these villages, and the local ecclesiastic structures could have acted as an influence in the design of the _penitente moradas_ at Abiquiú. In summary, the _moradas_ at Abiquiú are traditional regional buildings in material and in basic form. The pointed west end of each building, however, is an ecclesiastic innovation in an otherwise typical domestic design. These _moradas_ provide a significant design variant in the history of Spanish-American architecture in New Mexico. [44] The "Hall of Everyday Life in the American Past" in the Museum of History and Technology (Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.) displays an interior typical of a Spanish-New Mexican _adobe_ house of about 1800.

[47] L-plan _moradas_ are pictured by Woodward [see ftn. 13] in a 1925 photograph at San Mateo, a different _morada_ from that illustrated in CHARLES F. LUMMIS, _Land of Poco Tiempo_ (New York, 1897), as well as in another Woodward photograph [see ftn. 13] taken on the road to Chimayo. L. B. PRINCE, _Spanish Mission Churches of New Mexico_ (Cedar Rapids, 1915), shows an L-plan _morada_ near Las Vegas. Was the L-plan house an unconscious recall of the more secure structure that completely enclosed a _placita_? [48] BUNTING, p. 56. After 1960 the Arroyo Hondo _morada_ became the private residence of Larry Franks. [49] AASF, Loose Documents, Mission, 1829 (May 27). [50] KUBLER, _Religious Architecture_, p. 103.

Building date of about 1780 usually is given for the present church. Boyd, however, states that documents in AASF support the tree-ring dates given in KUBLER. _Religious Architecture_, p. 121, as 1816±10. _Interior Space and Artifacts_ The plans of the two _penitente moradas_ of Abiquiú (Figure 4) reveal an identical arrangement of interior space. There are three rooms in each _morada_: (1) the longest is on the west end and, with its constricted sanctuary space, acts as an oratory; (2) the center room serves as a sacristy; and (3) the east room is for storage. The only major difference between the two _moradas_ is the length of the storage room, which is nearly twice as long in the east _morada_. The remarkable similarities in design suggest that one served as the model for the other; local oral tradition holds that the east _morada_ is older.[53]
