“The church at Cochiti before the Padre sold the timbers, bells, etc. to the Santa Fe Railroad”
Photographer: Carter H. Harrison
Date: 1900 - 1910?
Negative Number 002302
The caption is from the photographer, and although the Padre has been excoriated by archaeologists and later architects for the circa 1910 renovation, to be fair to him, his vision was one of modernizing the church.
From Father Jerome Hesse, 1916:
“The appearance of the old, venerable church of the pueblo has been changed completely, to the chagrin of the archeologists, it is true, but to our own great pleasure and satisfaction. Some years ago the mud roof was replaced by a substantial roof of corrugated iron, and last year the interior of the church was renovated and decorated. First of all the bumpy, crooked walls had to be made as even as could be done before plastering; then the damp floor of clay had to make way for a regular wooden floor; moreover, through the inventive genius of our Ven. Brother Fidelis, the rough logs of the ceiling were hidden by a selfmade, cheap but handsome ceiling; finally the interior was tastefully decorated… . The whole interior of the church underwent a complete change and assumed a rather modern appearance.” [source]
Here’s what his renovations looked like:

Also, supposedly, New Mexico Territorial Governor Miguel Otero and Arthur Seligman supposedly took a very old church bell they had acquired from the church at Cochiti to the 1905 St. Louis Exposition. Around 1910, the bell may have been donated to the predecessor of the New Mexico History Museum. It has since disappeared. The caption on this photo indicates that the bell in fact could have gone to the AT&SF. The renovation was around 1910, so the timing is right in either case. If you happen to have any knowledge of what happened to the bell, let the NMHM or POG Photo Archives know!
