Description
St. George Russian Orthodox church on the Island of Saint George, Pribilof Islands, was erected in 1935-1936 by the parishioners at their expense; it was a third church on a site. The first small church on St. George was built of driftwood in 1833 by the Russian-American Company. It was dedicated to the Great Martyr St. George, and was located on the site of the present church. The second bigger church was constructed in 1875 on the same site, dedicated in 1878, and consecrated in 1897. It was in service until 1936, when a new church was constructed next to it.
