The Utkeagvik Church Manse (also known as the Utkeagvik Presbyterian Church Manse and The Pastor's House) is a historic church parsonage off Momegan Street in Barrow, Alaska. It is a two story wood frame gambrel-roofed Dutch Colonial, and is distinctive as the only building of this style in Barrow. Built in 1929, it was also the first two-story building in the community, and the first to be built from a kit, a building method later widely adopted in Arctic Alaska. The kit was configured in Seattle, Washington, shipped by freighter to Barrow, and assembled by local Native Alaskan workers under the supervision of Dr. Henry Greist. Its construction was funded by the U.S. Presbyterian Board of Missions. Dr. Greist was for many years a pillar of the local community, who operated an outpatient medical clinic from this building. Geist was a medical doctor and Presbyterian minister who served the people of Barrow and the surrounding areas from 1921 to 1936.[2]
The manse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
