St. Nicholas Church is a historic Russian Orthodox church in Nikolski, Alaska, which is located at the southern end of Umnak Island. Now it is under Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America[2]
The current church was built in 1930, and is believed to be the fourth church on the island: the first was built and was burned within the 1800s, the second was burned in 1898, the third was built in 1898-1900 a few miles away then moved to the current church location in about 1918, and was replaced in 1930. The church has a customary three-element design (altar section, nave, and vestibule section), with addition of a nearly independent bell tower. Its nave is larger and taller than usual among the Russian Orthodox churches of Alaska, and it has "simple detailing [which] coupled with small, economically severe, windows, suggests an almost Shaker design influence," according to a 1979 evaluation.[3][4]
The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
