1948

This fall color photo shows a three-quarter rear view of the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in Eklutna Village in foreground, displaying the south side and east end as it appeared in 1948. A sheet of corrugated metal roofing lies on the ground against the rear wall. A young spruce tree stands in immediate foreground at right and another frames the image standing near the front of the church at left. The bell tower and cross are plainly visible over the front of the church at left and a smaller cross is less obvious on the roof at the rear. The joint where the horizontal logs of the side wall join is plainly visible. Numerous snags and leafless trees are visible beyond the building in far middle ground.
