Praying By The Sea

St. Peter's by-the-sea Episcopal Church in Sitka, Alaska.  

The church is a "Gothic Revival structure, built of stone and wood, with a modest bell tower topped by a pyramidal roof. The basement and more than half of the main floor's height are fieldstone with timbered elements, above which is wood framing clad in wooden shingles. Three stone buttresses line the side of the church, separating four rectangular windows with half-round windows directly above. The rose window of the church includes a Star of David.  The church was built in 1899, and was the first substantial Episcopal church in Sitka, which had previously held services in smaller locations."

It was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
