description

Summary

Significance: Although quite new, the church closely resembles the previous church, built in 1936. A gable roof covers both sanctuary and nave, entered through the base of a belltower. / The church was built in 1986, but closely resembles the previous church, built in 1936. The church was rarely used, and fell into disrepair. The icons were removed in the 1950s. In the rebuilding, the main block was lengthened about 6'. The foundation, floor, and part of the tower are original. Fr. Gerasim designed the interior himself.
Survey number: HABS AK-75
