Chapel of San Ramon (also called the Benjamin Foxen Memorial Chapel〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sanramonchapel.org/history.html )〕 and the Sisquoc Chapel ) is a chapel and cemetery located in Santa Maria, California in the United States. It is listed on the California Historical Landmarks list and is also the first historic landmark listed by the county of Santa Barbara. It is considered a quality example of "the transition between the architecture of the old missions and the frame churches of the American settlers."〔 It is also one of the first Catholic churches in Santa Maria Valley.〔 ==History==
The property where the chapel reside was owned by the United States Government as of 1872. That year, Frederick and Ramona Foxen Wickenden purchased it. The couple donated the land to be the site for the chapel and a cemetery.〔 The chapel was built in 1875.〔 Prior to it being built, Frederick Wickenden sold 5,000 sheep to buy redwood to build the chapel. Wickenden, his brother Thomas, and Chris Clausen built the chapel. In 1876, the first burial was made in the cemetery, that of Benjamin Foxen, who was related to the Frederick Wickenden. In 1879, the chapel is dedicated by Francisco Mora y Borrell on behalf of Saint Ramon. In 1908, the chapel joined the Parish of Saint Mary. Regular services were canceled that year, and the church was used only for special occasions. In 1936, the chapel receives a new roof and paint. R.E. Easton rededicates the building.〔 In 1950, the Native Daughters of the Golden West declared the chapel as their own historic landmark and called it "Benjamin Foxen Memorial Chapel." Eight years later, the chapel is renovated by Winston Wickenden. He replaced the original foundation, made of wood, with concrete. Then renovations are completed in 1959.〔 In 1966, it was named the first historic landmark listed by the county of Santa Barbara.〔〔
