What is the Mission-like Structure in Keene?

Driving through the Mojave Subdivision, the train tracks curve around a beautiful Spanish-style building that looks like a mission. What is it? I have tried Google maps, and it really is there, but I cannot figure out what it is. At first, I thought it might be The United Farm Workers La Paz. It is in Keene, and Ceasar Chavez is buried there. But it looks as though La Paz is near the tracks, farther to the east than the mission-style structure.

It is the UFW "United Farm Workers" California headquarters, the late Ceasar Chavez office. Its a memorial now and is open to the public. La Paz is the name of the 187 acre ranch where the headquarters is located. I've been there a lot as its a good place to watch trains from, now that the loop is closed off.:(

At first I thought it was La Paz, but when I looked on Google aerial photos, it shows La Paz father east along the tracks, about where a grocery warehouse is on TrainZ. Maybe the names on Google are a little off.

I have never been there myself. I did not know the loop was now closed to the public. It would be nice to visit La Paz and that area to watch trains.
