Russian Orthodox Church, Savonoski-Abandon City, King Salmon, Bristol Bay Borough, AK
Summary
Significance: A number of Russian Orthodox churches survive in Alaska, built by Native congregations in traditional forms. Unusual sawtooth ornament over the windows, reminiscent of Russian church decoration, enlivens this rectangular, gable-roofed church. Built by survivors of the Katmai volcanic eruption, who moved here to re-establish their village in 1912, the church is now abandoned.
Survey number: HABS AK-86
