Saints Sergius & Herman Russian Orthodox Churches, Old Church, Port Graham, Kenai Peninsula Borough, AK

description

Summary

Significance: A number of Russian Orthodox churches survive in Alaska, built by Native congregations in traditional forms. Perhaps one of the older Russian Orthodox churches in Alaska, the church at English Bay was not conceived as a whole, but appears to be composed of two previously used buildings. The icons have been moved to a new church, erected beside the old.
Survey number: HABS AK-91-A
