The Church of the Holy Ascension National Historic Landmark is in the village of Unalaska on the Island of Unalaska in the Aleutian Archipelago, 800 miles southwest of Anchorage. The church is situated on a neck of land which is bounded on the north by Ililiuk Bay and on the south by the Ililiuk River. Built in 1924-26, one of the oldest Russian Orthodox churches in Alaska, the Holy Ascension Church has a cruciform plan and a hip-roofed nave that emphasizes its squareness. Featuring three altars, this church is rivaled only by St. Michael's Cathedral in Sitka for size and grandeur. The site is associated with Fr. Innocent (Veniaminov), the Russian Orthodox missionary priest who studied Aleut language and culture while living here in the early nineteenth century. From 1970, the Holy Ascension Russian Orthodox Church is a National Historic Landmark. The Historic Landmark consists of the church and a house, both on land designated "The Russian Greek Mission Reserves."(NPS)
