The author reports the discovery of a second adobe on Mission Hill thought to originate in the beginning of 1800s and reports on its possible uses. Historian Kimbro is quoted hypothesizing it served to house Ohlone natives around 1803, most of whom had died of measles, cholera, or smallpox twenty years later. Natives of central valley tribes such as the Yukats were brought in to "augment" the native population in Santa Cruz Mission in order to bolster Spain's claims to California. According to a quote by anthropologist Edwards, no mention of this secondary adobe building appears on any historical record and its finding counters general perception that Mission Hill was composed of just a church and a priest's house.
