Old St. Joseph's Catholic Church, now Old St. Joe's Hall, is a historic former church building at Anvil City Square in Nome, Alaska. Designed by J.B. Randell of Seattle, Washington and built in 1901, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is also the only wood-frame Gothic Revival church in Alaska, and is one of the most visible buildings in the city. Originally located at 4th and Steadman Streets, it served as a church until 1944. It fell into disrepair, resulting in the removal of its distinctive tall steeple. In 1995 it was given to the city, which moved it to Anvil City Square the following year and restored it.[2] It now serves as a community hall.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
