Group Description: Holland Emmanuel Historical Site was the former Anglican Church which was deconsecrated in 2007. Andrew Maxwell a resident of Holland was the architect. He designed several homes in the Holland area. Andres was a distant cousin of Edward and W.S. Maxwell who designed the Regina Parliament Buildings.
