The Presentation of Our Lord Chapel is a historic chapel in Nikolai, Alaska. The church parish is believed to have been started long before 1915, in the Old Nikolai area, and moved because of flooding of the old area.[1]
It was built in 1929 as a replacement to a log building that had been constructed on the site in 1915. One source asserts that in 1918 a different church was moved a few miles to this site in 1918; the 1929 rebuilding could incorporate that.[1]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Now it is the St. Peter the Apostle Church under the Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America.[2]
