Chapel and bell tower. There is a story that Alfred Hitchcock came to this mission to use the bell tower for his Motion Picture Vertigo. When he arrived, he discovered that the second bell tower of which he had seen photos, had been replaced by a restoration of the original bell tower. He then had a bell tower constructed back in Hollywood. 7-26-03.
