The following study deals with one of the physical remains of the Russians’ presence in Alaska. The bishop’s house in Sitka is a rare, extant structure dating from the years when Sitka was called Novoarchangelsk and the promyshienniks of the Russian-American fur company held sway in Alaska. Coming into the possession of the National Park Service in 1972 as part of Sitka National Historical Park, the restored bishop’s house can serve well as a symbol of Russian colonization efforts in America. The story it tells can round out the deservedly more familiar story of the European colonization that came from different lands across a different sea.
