Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church
St. Paul Island

Return to Seal Islands Historic District National Historic Landmark

National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form text:

Built in 1907. Traditional building listed on the National Register of Historic places. The 1907 church was built on the foundations of the previous church, which was constructed in the mid-1800s. Portions of the earlier church appear to have been incorporated into the new buildings, as was customary for both religious and practical reasons. The iconostasis (the interior altar wall) and many of the icons and other articles from the nineteenth-century church were installed in the 1907 building. The church is well cared for and structurally sound, but subject always to the harsh climate and limited funds for major repairs (Faulkner 1986).
