ALASKA ARCHITECTURAL STYLE GUIDE
ALASKA ARCHITECTURAL STYLE GUIDEThis Alaska Architectural Style Guide is an introduction to architectural styles commonly found in Alaska.In the years since the first Russian outposts were established in Alaska, buildings have been constructed in awide variety of architectural styles. From the simple vernacular log structures of the late 18th century, tothe steel and glass curtain-wall buildings of the 20th Century, the architecture of Alaska is as diverse as itsmany geographical regions.The architectural styles on the following pages are presented according to the period or movement withwhich they are traditionally associated. Dates are provided for the years when the style was most popular inthe United States, although examples of each style could pre- or post-date the dates given. In addition to ashort history of each style, a list of primary and secondary stylistic features associated with each style, as wellas National Register considerations are provided. These considerations will provide guidance whenevaluating a building for National Register eligibility under Criterion C. Under this criterion, propertiesmay be eligible for the National Register if they embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, ormethod of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic value, or thatrepresent significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction (district).The considerations provide in the following pages are meant to assist, but not dictate a specific outcome. Itis also important to note that a number of the styles found on the following pages became popular less than50 years ago. When properties are being evaluated for the National Register and they are less than 50 yearsold they must meet Criteria Consideration G which requires that properties be of exceptional importance.For more information on applying Criteria Consideration G see the National Register Bulletin: Guidelines forEvaluating and Nomination Properties that Have Achieved Significance Within the Past Fifty Years.When conducting a survey, use this style guide as a tool for identifying and evaluating architectural styles.It is not a comprehensive list of all styles and types of buildings. For a more detailed description ofarchitectural styles and the history of neighborhood development in the United States, see A Field Guide toAmerican Houses: The Definitive Guild to Identifying and Understanding America’s Domestic Architecture Revisededition, 2013, by Virginia Savage McAlester. Not all buildings in Alaska and elsewhere have a style. It isacceptable to say they have no style or are vernacular.The conversation about architectural styles, especially recent past architectural styles, will evolve as moresurveys are conducted and more research completed. The current classification system should bereexamined every five years and evaluation considerations should be revisited after additional study isconducted.1
COLONIALRUSSIAN COLONIAL (1784-1867)The least represented type of colonial architecture in the United States is Russian Colonial. Russiansettlement started in North America in the late 1700s. As settlements developed in the Aleutians, KodiakIsland and the southern coast of Alaska, the Russian Colonial esthetic developed. At first a quick adaption tothe land, Russian Colonial architecture soon evolved to incorporate the traditional vernacular buildingtechniques used in Russia. The only locations in the United States where this style of architecture is foundare Alaska and California. Today, only four Russian Colonial buildings survive in North America: theRussian Bishop’s House (Sitka, AK), Building 29 (Sitka, AK), Rotchev House (Fort Ross, CA), and theRussian American Magazin (Kodiak, AK). Features and concepts of this style are evident in the RussianOrthodox churches that post-date the Russian Colonial era.Stylistic Features: Horizontal interlocking log construction Rectangular or polygonal plan Community setting on a pro
