Holy Trinity Church, Juneau

Holy Trinity Church is a historic and resilient parish. The current building, completed in 2009, was constructed after a devastating fire destroyed the original structure on March 12, 2006. Despite the loss, the congregation rebuilt and continues to serve as a vibrant spiritual center for the community.

The original Holy Trinity Church was built in 1896 and designed by architect George E. James in the Carpenter Gothic style. Constructed by Foss and Olsen, the charming wood-frame building featured steeply pitched roofs and lancet windows characteristic of the Gothic Revival movement. Sometime before 1914, the church was elevated to include a basement, and while a parish hall was added in 1956, it did not reflect the Gothic design of the original church. From 1918 to 1944, Holy Trinity held the distinction of serving as the pro-cathedral for the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska, underscoring its importance in the region.

The significance of Holy Trinity Church was recognized nationally when the original structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1978. Although the original building no longer stands, the church鈥檚 legacy endures in its rebuilt form.

Juneau Introduction Walking Tour

Alaska鈥檚 capital city is one of the most scenic places in the state, and among the most visited. Long before government buildings and cruise ships arrived, the land was home to the Tlingit people. They built permanent villages along the coast and rivers, thriving through fishing, trading, and a way of life deeply rooted in the region鈥檚 natural rhythms.
