Old St. Joseph's Catholic Church
Old St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Catholic church in Nome, Alaska
The wooden Gothic Revival church stands in Anvil City Square, featuring a restored structure with distinguished architectural elements from its 1901 construction.
The church, designed by J.B. Randell of Seattle, served as an important landmark for travelers entering Nome with its illuminated cross atop the spire.
The building represents the presence of the Society of Jesus mission in Nome, where Father Bellarmine LaFortune worked with native communities for forty years.
The structure now functions as a community hall at coordinates 64°30′00″N 165°24′28″W, providing space for local events and gatherings in Nome.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this building in 2000 as the only wood-frame Gothic Revival church throughout Alaska.
