**Building of the mission ** ﻿ Mission Santa Barbara was built with the help of the Chumash tribe which had some of the most agreeable and energetic Indians in Califoinia. With their help, the mission was built very quickly after the spring rains of 1787. A chapel was finished first, followed by the priest's house. Mission Santa Barbara has 61 guest rooms and 12 private retreat rooms which totals to 73 rooms. The materials used for the construction was logs, with roofs of woven straw, adobe, or brick building that had tile roofs. It look like an ancient Roman temple built before the birth of Christ.

The typical daily schedule for an Indian is to start at sunrise, when everyone went to church to pray and sing. An hour later, the bell rang for breakfast. At 7:00 A.M., the Indians went to do their work. Indians ate their afternoon meal and took a small nap at around noon. Two hours later, everyone returned to work. At 5:00 P.M., the Chumash again attended the mission church, listening to the missionaries' prayers and Bible lessons. After an hour of church, dinner was held for all, followed by free time. A bell rang at 8:00 P.M. for women to go to bed. The final bell of the day rang at 9:00 P.M., telling bedtime for men. Their houses would have looked domeshaped that could hold up to 50 people, covered with tule, which were reeds woven tightly to keep out the wind and rain. This is because the Europeans want to convert the Indians to Christians, and be baptized. In addition, the Europeans want to prevent them from worshipping their own gods. The Indians were given plenty of food and clothes, with shelter and protection provided.
