It is simple and square, 17.75 feet (5.41 m) in each dimension, built of logs, and is argued to be "the evocation of a rural R.O. church structure in Alaska, an outstanding example of durable utile architectural simplicity." [3] [4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. [1]
