The St. Nicholas Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox church in the native village of Igiugig, Alaska, United States. Now it is under Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America[1]
It is one of the region's smallest churches, measuring 12feetx18feetft (xft), with clapboard siding, a metal gable roof, and a small shed-roof vestibule at one end. The long walls each have three sash windows. A detached bell tower, holding five bells, stands next to the church. The church was built in 1930.[2] The vestibule has seen the addition of a little onion dome sometime after 1990.[3]
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
