St. Nicholas Chapel (Sand Point, Alaska)
St. Nicholas Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox chapel in Sand Point, Alaska. Now it is under Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America

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".

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.

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