The two-storey log building was erected in 1841–1843 by the Russian-American Company as the residence of Innocent (Veniaminov), the first Bishop of Alaska. After the sale of Alaska in 1867 the house remained in use by the Orthodox diocese. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962 and in 1973 was acquired and restored by the U.S. National Park Service.
