St. Nicholas Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox chapel in Sand Point, Alaska.
It was built in 1936. According to a 1979 evaluation of the church for possible historic registry listing, it is "a building of strong religious statement, clear and expressive." The evaluation notes that its entrance vestibule is within a "commanding" square tower at its west end, which "rises to a truncated pyramidal roof above its second level, and supports a handsome open-work octagonal bell tower".[2][3]
As of 1979, it was in deteriorated condition and services were no longer conducted in the building (they were conducted in a private house, instead). But the building was "swept and kept neat" and secure from vandalism.[2][3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
