The church, built of hewn spruce logs, is about 5 by 8 metres (16 ft × 26 ft) in plan, and may have been built in about 1870, or as early as 1830. It was moved to its current location in 1900.[2][3]

A new church was built next to the old in 1962.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1] This and other Russian Orthodox churches of the Alaskan Diocese were studied during the National Register of Historic Places inventory[4] and Historic American Building Survey.[5]
