 church, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, 1907_construction, Russian Orthodox Church
Historic Russian Orthodox church listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). 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.
