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.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

Now it is the St. Peter the Apostle Church under the Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America.[3]
