Bristol Bay Borough, US
The St. John the Baptist Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox chapel in Naknek, Alaska, United States. It is traditionally said to have been built in 1886 and enlarged in 1914. It is a simple single story wood-frame building. It consists of a single chamber, measuring 10'3" wide and 30'3" long, whi
ch houses the nave and altar, and a small vestibule. Analysis of the construction indicates that the vestibule and a portion of the nave were constructed after the original construction date. The gable roof is topped by a centrally-placed Russian Orthodox cross, and there is a bell mounted on a metal framework outside the vestibule. The chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
