Review:
The Russian Bishop's House, which can be found within Sitka National Historical Park, is one of the nation’s few surviving examples of Russia’s brief colonization of the United States. It was completed in 1842 and was originally a part of the Russian Orthodox Church. Today, visitors can step back in time and better understand what it was like to live in Sitka during the Russian-American period. The log-structure building you see today has been restored and renovated over the years, though it looks very much like it originally did in 1853. There are a few other buildings from that era surrounding the Bishop’s House, one of which is the wood frame structure built in 1897 as the Old School.
