Nativity of the Holy Theotokos Russian Orthodox Church, Afognak, Kodiak Island Borough, AK

Significance: A number of historic Russian Orthodox churches survive in Alaska, built by Native congregations in traditional forms. Erected at the turn of the century, the Nativity of the Holy Theotokos Russian Orthodox Church was constructed of large hewn logs, dovetailed at the corners. The gable-roofed structure had a sanctuary, nave, belltower, and vestibule, all clearly expressed on the exterior.
