Old San Ysidro church is a classic example of the New Mexico Hispanic religious village architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is in the shape of a cross. The massive masonry adobe walls are nearly three feet thick and hand-plastered with adobe on both the exterior and interior. The adobe blocks are made of clay, sand and straw, 20" x 10" x 5". Hand-hewn corbels support the vigas and there are hand-adzed lintels above the doors and the windows. The original building had a flat earthen roof with a belfry over the main entrance which was a single door facing the east. The floor was packed earth. Interior mud plastered walls were whitewashed with gesso.
