Caption: View from South-West - Fort Ross, Russian Chapel, Fort Ross, Sonoma County, CA
Additional Description: The marker is visible here, just to the right of the chapel entrance, at what was probably its original location.

The chapel was nearly destroyed in the earthquake of April 1906, leaving only the roof and associated structures intact. The chapel was restored, 1915-1917, with significant additional alterations undertaken during repairs, 1955-57. Fire destroyed the chapel on October 5, 1970, with a complete reconstruction of the chapel completed on the same site in 1973. (Photo courtesy of the Historic American Building Survey)
