There was a bigger wooden 2nd floor(which now is a loft)that went almost the whole span of the church...the union cavalry used that 2nd floor to sleep and the church also resembles a fort with upper windows that u could fire from if u had too..if u look at the upper windows from the inside of the church the windows were built like that of castles where it was built so u could shoot an arrow or gun easily from left to right but the people on the outside had a hard time shooting in at u...that church is very interesting as I grew up around the basilica de alcala church there in San Diego and was even baptized there too as a child

Love this so much! Thank you!
