Will Sparks - "Chapel near Fort Ross" - Oil on wood panel - 10" x 14" - Signed lower right <br>Signed, titled and dated on reverse <br> <br>Possible remnant of an exhibition at the SFAA on reverse. <br> <br>The Chapel was originally built in the mid-1820s. It was the first Russian Orthodox structure in North America outside of Alaska. The Fort Ross Chapel was found eligible for designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1969, architecturally significant as a rare U.S. example of a log church constructed on a Russian quadrilateral plan. <br> <br>An accidental fire destroyed the chapel on October 5, 1970. This loss of the original workmanship and materials of the chapel led to withdrawal of the Chapel's Landmark designation in 1971. <br> <br>A complete reconstruction of the chapel was undertaken in 1973 and the Fort Ross settlement, as a whole, retains its National Historic Landmark designation.
