In August emergency repairs were needed when a portion of the front perimeter adobe wall of the Carmel Mission deteriorated and had to be removed immediately. Carmel Mission Foundation announced that with the success of their past support they were able to fully fund this emergency removal.

The Carmel Mission Foundation worked together with the Carmel Mission Parish team to carefully tear down the deteriorated wall and build a temporary wall in just 2 short weeks. Demolition crews removed 30 feet of adobe wall stretching from the front gate to the museum store. A temporary wall was erected to secure the property until the Foundation can raise the funds needed to rebuild this historic wall wall during the upcoming  Downie Museum and Basilica Forecourt restoration project.
