Building History

Fort Ross was abandoned by its Russian settlers in 1841; in that year, Captain John Sutter purchased the buildings at Fort Ross and existing supplies.

Building Notes

Fort Ross as a whole is listed as California State Historic Landmark #5.

Prior to 11/02/2020, PCAD erroneously indicated that the Fort Ross Chapel was a Greek Orthodox church. (Thank you to Steve Johnson for notifying the author of this mistake in an email 10/30/2020.)

Alteration

Rebuilt after the April 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, when the State of California purchased the property.

The chapel was destroyed by a fire in 1970, but was rebuilt in 1974.
