Summary

Significance: A number of historic Russian Orthodox churches survive in Alaska, built by Native congregations in traditional forms. This 1953 church, although somewhat lower and wider in proportions than earlier churches, has the same elements of separate sanctuary, nave, and belltower that identify it as an Alaskan Russian Orthodox church.
Survey number: HABS AK-53
